[jira] Commented: (MEAR-83) Documentation refers to jarModule instead of javaModule but jarModule doesn't seem to be released yet

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-83?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_122135 ] 

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.

> The documentation up right now http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/modules.html  mentions that jarModule should be used instead of javaModule.  That may be so for the latest released version of this plugin, but if I use the plugin without explicitly specifying the version with maven 2.0.8, I don't get that version -- I get version 2.1.
> FYI, the error I got when attempted to use jarModule was bizarre.  ALL it told me (no other info was helpful whatsoever) was the following error:
> java.lang.InstantiationException: org.apache.maven.plugin.ear.EarModule
