I am attempting to set my module as a free module with the tag in the pom.xml. However it fails on build when this is there, and succeeds with the tag removed.

I have tried, to no avail, lower case and camelCase per the suggestion in this thread: [https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=14848&p=54557&hilit=freemodule&sid=b4a2a602374469130cf96638014278be#p54557](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=14848&p=54557&hilit=freemodule&sid=b4a2a602374469130cf96638014278be#p54557). I have also set my ignition-maven-plugin version to 1.0.9, which did not work.

What am I missing that would cause this?

The error I get is this:

> [@](#):
>
> Unrecognised tag: 'freemodule' (position: START\_TAG seen ...\r\n\r\n ... @15:17)

Here is an excerpt of my pom.xml

```auto
<artifactId>myArtifactID</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>

<name>myArtifact</name>
<description>myArtifactDescrition</description>

<freeModule>true</freeModule>

<properties>
       
<ignition-sdk-version>7.8.0</ignition-sdk-version>
</properties>
```

Thank you.

It looks like you’ve got the element just floating around somewhere in the top level of your pom file instead of in the ignition-maven-plugin configuration.

That was it.

Thank you.
