David Smiley commented on MEAR-83: ---------------------------------- What you say is fair... though this hurts my maven experience a bit. The specific error I got took me a long while to diagnose (which may be something that the ear plugin could improve any way). How would I know to even check the plugin version? Even the examples don't specify a version number (which misled me to believe that I didn't have to either). Perhaps all plugin pages (maven-wide, not just ear) should declare prominently at a banner on the top the plugin info including the version that the documentation applies to. I dunno. > Documentation refers to jarModule instead of javaModule but jarModule doesn't > seem to be released yet > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MEAR-83 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-83 > Project: Maven 2.x Ear Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Environment: Maven version: 2.0.8 > Java version: 1.5.0_13 > Reporter: David Smiley > Assignee: Stephane Nicoll > > The documentation up right now > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/modules.html mentions that > jarModule should be used instead of javaModule.
