This high quality code does not do what it is supposed to do, i.e. put
geronimo-plugin.xml in the generated car.

The patch on July 27th was for m2migration and it is clearly written.

FYI, the code you are talking about was already committed by David
Jencks! David helped me write the plugin by expaining how the configs
work. He patiently reviewed massive patches, tested them, committed
them and made sure that the first server could be started.

Isn't it because you added Mojo for the code that is not even being
used?

The file deletion code is straight out of geronimo! If it is being used
in Geronimo, it is good enough for me. Why would I use Plexus?
BTW, many months ago *when you were not involved in this effort*, David
suggested that we should generate classpath dynamically. I was waiting
for the first server to start before I attempted that. That is why the
classPath was used as a massive string. It was only temporary.
and nothing is commented.

Unfortunately we will have to revisit this until all the configs have
the required functionality! You see, When they don't work people file
issues. I am waiting patiently...
