Ignition Maven Plugin bug - licenseFile in non standard path

Module Development
1

The licenseFile parameter is not working for non-standard file paths. From the Exception it looks like the file name is missing from the target path. (Plugin version 1.0.12).
In addition, the use of documentationFile parameter is a bit vague. Docs say [quote]the path to the directory where your documentation can be found[/quote] but it looks like the plugin always copies the /doc folder, and this parameter is only used in the generated xml file, so it should point to a .html file inside the doc folder.

It looks like we need to fix the statement in the docs. The module plugin looks for documentation to be in a ./docs folder by default, as you found (which has been true for past module tools as well). The ‘documentationFile’ tag should be the name or path to your ‘index.html’ (or whatever you’ve named your index) file inside the docs folder.

I’ll update the doc for clarity.
