Position of defaultjvmserver parameter is confusing.

Open davenice opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

If you're packaging an existing WAR as a bundle by extending the config, you specify the defaultjvmserver within the execution config.

If you create a separate module for the CICS bundle, you specify the defaultjvmserver outside the execution config.

This is confusing and has caught new users out several times.

Also the JVM server is set by default to MYJVMS in https://github.com/IBM/cics-bundle-maven/blob/b29130db72300135edb9dfa13d8dbaef68ae276b/cics-bundle-maven-plugin/src/main/java/com/ibm/cics/cbmp/AbstractAutoConfigureBundlePublisherMojo.java#L40

In #138 it looked like decided to stop providing a default JVM server if the user didn't specify one, because anything we supply is unlikely to be useful. However we didn't make this change in the code.

I think the behaviour needs a bit of investigating to propose the correct fix. If you configure your individual Java projects (war/ear etc) with a jvmserver parameter, I guess we shouldn't give an error about the JVM server being missing.
