Action Plan
In the discovery log file, select the warning message, and display the detail of the warning message by enabling the Show Details option as below screenshot, in order to see the stack trace if any:

If the stack trace is like below, the issue is due to special characters in the pom.xml files, like “é”, “è”, “ê”, “à”, etc… :
2017-04-26 14:32:51.165 WARNING Maven Java project: The analysis of POM file My_Pom_with_accent/pom.xml has failed com.castsoftware.dmt.discoverer.jee.maven.PomAnalysisException: at com.castsoftware.dmt.discoverer.jee.maven.MavenProcessor.start(MavenProcessor.java:194) at com.castsoftware.dmt.discoverer.jee.maven.MavenProjectsDiscoverer.buildProject(MavenProjectsDiscoverer.java:67) at com.castsoftware.dmt.engine.discovery.ProjectsDiscovererWrapper.startTextFile(ProjectsDiscovererWrapper.java:1198) at com.castsoftware.dmt.engine.foldertree.FolderTreeInterpreterDelegate.startTextFile(FolderTreeInterpreterDelegate.java:91) at com.castsoftware.dmt.engine.foldertree.FolderTreeFileReader$FolderTreeXMLHandler.endElement(FolderTreeFileReader.java:212) at com.castsoftware.util.xml.AbstractXMLFileReader.endElement(AbstractXMLFileReader.java:274) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.endElement(:0) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanEndElement(:0) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDriver.next(:0) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl.next(:0) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(:0) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(:0) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(:0) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(:0)
3. The solution is to remove from the pom.xml file these special characters (they are appearing in comments).
