This is a general issue with Maven poms - invalid tags are not rejected or even reported. I'm not sure it's worth supporting alternate spellings - where does one stop? For example, in the UK licence and license are noun and verb respectively (cf. advice and advise, which is easier to remember) but the US seem to use license for both. There may be other possible variations, if not now, then when new tags are added. If it's easy to report any unexpected tags, then it might be worth doing so, but I think the code should only accept one spelling. > Robert > > [1] "be conservative in what you send, liberal in what you accept" (Postal's > Law) >
