Invalid example in maven-archiver documentation

Dennis Lundberg added a comment - 24/Oct/09 3:48 PM The versions that you mention (2.3 and 2.4) are not plugin versions. They are versions of the maven-archiver shared component. What is wrong with the example?

Stevo Slavic added a comment - 24/Oct/09 5:33 PM Seems I misunderstood version info. Nevertheless, configuration options from example seem not to be applicable to current version of maven-jar-plugin - problem with example is [1] when [2] .

Klemens Muthmann added a comment - 16/Jan/10 1:41 AM For other people facing this bug. There is an alternative way to create executable jars described here: http://left.subtree.org/2008/01/24/creating-executable-jars-with-maven/

Dennis Lundberg added a comment - 16/Jan/10 5:32 AM This particular feature was introduced in 2.4 of Maven Archiver, and is undocumented in the reference section on the site. That needs to be fixed. The feature does work with the JAR Plugin though, but it requires version 2.3 of that plugin.
