The POM for maven-jar-plugin (2.0) seems to me to be incorrect. It explicitly 
references version 2.0 of maven-archive. However, there have been at least five 
releases of maven-archive since then, at least one of them containing a new 
parameter I need to use (addMavenDescriptor).

The upcoming release of the maven-jar-plugin (version 2.1) will be using version 2.1 of maven-archiver. I don't know when the last SNAPSHOT of the plugin was published, but you can always build it from source if you want to try it.

  Shouldn't this version field look something more like [2,) so that newer 
versions of the archiver will be used if available?

No, I don't think so. For a couple of reasons:
- A new version does not only contains new features, it can also mean a change in behavior. - We could get into serious support problems if people are using the same version of the plugin with different versions of maven-archiver.
- New features in maven-archiver would not be documented in the plugin.
