Title was: Benchmark doesn't allow for de-serializing XMLs with references

I have a solution configuration serialized via XStream [1]. When I'm attempting to benchmark [2] my solver with that solution, I get the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2:java (default-cli) on project tournaments: An exception occured while executing the Java class. null: InvocationTargetException: Problem reading unsolvedSolutionFile: src/main/resources/input-tiny.xml: Invalid reference

[ERROR] -------------------------------

I can see two solutions:
a) Make it so that Planner benchmark does understand XStream's XML.
b) Provide a method inside Planner to serialize Solutions in a way that benchmark will understand them later.
