> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: website
> Reporter: Tim Stewart
> Priority: Minor

> On web page [https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/] the sample pom.xml does not contain a <description> element, but below the sample pom.xml it says: "This is a very simple POM but still displays the key elements every POM contains, so let's walk through each of them to familiarize you with the POM essentials: ... • _description This element provides a basic description of your project. This is often used in Maven's generated documentation._"
> So the explanation of the "description" element assumes the pom.xml contains one, but it does not.
> Recommended fix: include a "description" element in the sample pom.xml. Or, alternatively, remove references to the description "element" from the bulleted explanation of elements below the sample pom.xml
