[M2] 'Getting Started' guide fails in current state

[Aaron Bell <aa...@clockworklogic.co.uk>]

Hello,

If you work through the current 'Getting Started' page for Maven 2, the 
last step (multiple modules) fails at the install goal. This is because 
a WAR with a non-default name cannot be installed in the repository.

1. The example given to create a WAR uses a 'plugins' element in the 
pom.xml. This creates a war file with the short name "my-webapp.war".

2. This war file cannot be installed in the repository. The 'install' 
goal fails as it looks for the fully-qualified artifact name (including 
version string) in the target directory.

Fix: if you remove the plugins element from the webapp pom.xml, the app 
builds and installs correctly.

Question: Is there some parameter I can use to install a WAR with a 
non-default name?

Thanks
 - Aaron

Good catch. Actually, you missed the step that had already removed it
during the tutorial :)

No, this is not the intention of the repository (see the mail archives
for a greater explanation).

Thanks,
Brett
