Description Andreas Sewe

2018-02-23 06:49:15 EST

The Eclipse News RSS feed [1] shows the following in an RSS feed reader:

  Eclipse Newsletter | Boot &amp; Build Eclipse Projects

The problem is this:

  <title><![CDATA[Eclipse Newsletter | Boot &amp; Build Eclipse Projects]]></title>

The CDATA section disabled the interpretation of character entities like &amp;. Instead, a literal ampersand must be used.

This should be fixed now!

I will send out a private email to the author to let them know not to character entities with <![CDATA[]]>.
