Honestly, I don't really see the problem. Looking at the latest release[1], there are 4 required parameters indeed but the default value is defined (in bold). I don't think this is specific to the EAR plugin actually: the jar plugin has exactly the same kind of doc! [2]
Maybe the required parameters that have a default value should be rendered differently. I can't really tell what we should do as I am not confused. Thanks, S.
