Description

1.Start a G server2.2 in eclipse using GEP.
2.Double click the server and click the plugin button.
3.Click the Convert Apps to Plugins button and create a Geronimo Plugin.
4.Choose the destination of the export plugin and an application want to be converted the click the next button.
5.You will see the page"updating plugin information ",click the next button.
6.In the next page ,click button add to add the prerequisite module, you can try any prerequisite module which exists in the server.Please leave the version blank.Then click the next.
7.You will find the plugin at the destination you just choose.Install the plugin you will get the output that the prerequisite module can not be found.

Check the file Geronimo-plugin.xml and you will find that the version of the prerequisite module is <ns2:version/>,that is the key why there is no the module and actually if you want to install the plugin you can just delete the <ns2:version/>.

By the way ,when I finish converting an application to a plugin,I can still click next button,at the beginning I thought the process is not finished but actually it is done and this is a new process of converting.
So,if the last button can be set to finish button that will be fine.
