I don’t know about you guys, but I really need to be able to have Maven generate id’s on module elements in EAR application.xml’s.

The result should sort of look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">
<application>
<display-name>my-ear</display-name>
<module id="An_maven_generated_identifier.">
<ejb>My_EJB.jar</ejb>
</module>
</application>

This could be done by allowing an extra element on the module configuration section for the maven-ear-plugin.

So place your votes here… … if you agree.
