Description

I have a build failing since the ejb plugin can not find ejb-jar.xml and the documentation conspicuously fails to mention where it needs to be.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ejb-plugin/index.html

All this plugin does is make a jar with some predefined resources so it is important that the docs explain what it is doing. Maven3 hardcodes various locations of files and if they are not documented it is not possible to use the system.

Previous maven versions let you defined where ejb-jar.xml comes from, now it has to be somewhere specific but where it needs to be is only specified in the source code.
