Robert Scholte created MJAR-176: ----------------------------------- Summary: Usage page should (only) describe default behavior Key: MJAR-176 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-176 Project: Maven JAR Plugin Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Robert Scholte
If one is pretty new to Maven and just wants to create a jar (still the most used packaging type), he'll probably go to the docs of this plugin. This means that the usage page should make it immediately clear. Now it jumps fast to finetuning the configuration. Instead: - describe standard folder structure (start with only {{src/main/java}} and {{src/main/resources}}) - describe minimum pom (in this case GAV + modelVersion, saying {{jar}} is the default packaging type) - describe the {{package}} goal. Configuration specifics should be moved to example pages. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
