-----------------------------------

             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.
