The ear plugin can handle pre-existing application.xml files. Since Gradle 2.0, we get the following error when Gradle tries to load our existing application.xml file. This happens during the config phase:
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':myproj'.
> DOCTYPE ist nicht zulõssig, wenn das Feature "http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl" auf "true" ges
etzt ist.
* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating project ':myproj'.

BUILD FAILED
The DOCTYPE is required by at least some Application servers. See: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/programming/app_xml.html
I uploaded a minimalistic project reproducing the error. Just try to run any gradle task in it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54390273/dev/ear-proj.zip
Best regards, Mike
