Greetings,

I work on a maven project that has a parent pom with two modules. Right 
click on any of these three projects and select *Properties* and there's 
a simple error dialog that says

    Project's pom.xml file contains invalid xml content. Please fix the
    file before proceeding.

I open the pom.xml and it's green, no warnings or errors. Both NB-30RC1 
and NB-29. There is nothing about it in messages.log. Each module builds 
OK from both NetBeans and the command line. Probably something about the 
pom, but what? With other maven projects, both single and multi module, 
the properties open fine.

Before I update/build my local NB repo to track this down, any hints?
