First, I want to thank everyone who made 2.2 a reality. It's let me 
cleanup my build quite a bit.

Having said that, it seems that you can't please everybody all of the 
time, especially with a generic tool like the maven-jar-plugin <g>. 

I have a business requirement (read: management, not programmatic, 
decision)  to produce a few empty jars in my build. I had hoped the 
<forceCreation> configuration option would do the trick, but it doesn't.

Since the jars are empty I do not need any 2.2 specific functionality, so 
I can force 2.1 using <plugin><version> as a workaround.

Is there a cleaner way?
