EJB3 Packaging is not working a told on the Maven web site

[Markus KARG]

Dear Maven Community,

Today I have seen on the Maven web site
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ejb-plugin/ejb-mojo.html) that
the ejb plugin is able to package EJB3 compliant JARs. So I wanted to
try that out and have set up a sample project.

Unfortunately it seems it is not working as expected actually. On the
web site it is told that once ejbVersion is set to 3.0 then the
ejb-jar.xml would be optional. In fact, when setting the ejbVersion to
3.0, the plugin still complains about the missing ejb-jar.xml and fails
to build:

Embedded error:
/home/markus/.eclipse/sample-ejb/target/classes/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
isn't a file.

The pom.xml is attached below, it is written according to the
documentation found on the web site.

So is this a bug in the plugin or a bug on the web site?

Thanks
Markus
