> EAR plugin will emit invalid application.xml (without needing user override)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MEAR-170
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-170
> Project: Maven Ear Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.8
> Reporter: Darryl L. Miles
> Assignee: Karl-Heinz Marbaise
>
> The DTD/XSD for the application.xml indicates that it must contain both a
> <display-name> and at least one <module> element.
> Maven EAR plugin will emit <display-name> by default, this bug ticket has no
> concerns there.
> But it is easy to configure it up with no valid <module>.
> The plugin should have a new user-configurable attribute to enforce
> application.xml DTD/XSD rules. It should be in enforcing mode by default (so
> the plugin will cause a build error if the configuration causes an invalid
> application.xml to be emitted).
> When this situation is detected the user should be informed in the Maven
> error message that to override this check they can set
> -DenforceWellFormedApplicationXml=false
> The above information may not be correct for all EE versions of
> application.xml so for each EE version the rule(s) should be checked.
> But Maven by default should not be emitting invalid XML data, without the
> user overriding this check manually.
> There is also a use case to allow not emitting an application.xml at all when
> there is no configuration (no <module> set). However again this should not
> be the default, if the user is using the EAR plugin they expect it to produce
> a well formed EAR artifact (and provide assistance towards that goal, by
> displaying appropriate error messages when they do something wrong). This
> means the default should be to always need to create an application.xml.
> Which then means they must configure the maven-ear-plugin correctly to
> achieve that goal (and not get a build failure).
