Description

Hi,

if the webXml attribute is set in the configuration of the plugin (in my case inherited from a parent pom), the failIOnMissingWebXml boolean is ignored.

To reproduce that:

• import maven project from attached pom OR create new project (simple archetype), package: war
• use attached pom.xml OR include the plugin in the pom and set webXml to something and failOnMissingWebXml to false
• mvn clean install
  -> failed
  ********
• comment the webXml attribute out
• mvn clean install
  -> success

cheers
Jakob

PS: in my understanding of xml, using <webXml /> in the pom should set that attribute to NULL, but that doesn't work either. Is that another bug or supposed to be like that?
