No, there were some real problems with the car plugin, probably a few
more too.
I believe the following change I have made is the only thing needed to
fix all of the above problems. These were all caused because the
version for the car plugin was left unspecified. It was left upto
maven
to pick an *available* version for the car plugin and use it to
install
the configs during assemblies! For details see:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2675
I really don't think so. I don't deny that not specifying the
version has left some uncertainly, but it certainly was not the cause
of all of the problems you reference below.
Numerous problems have been reported with building 'assemblies'
and
with the server resulting from these assemblies. Here are some of
them:

Why do you think that caching of old junk was related in any way to
the version of the car plugin being omitted? Most of these problems
were actually in configs/* modules which did have the version specified.
The rest... well, I'm not really sure. Some of this might be caused
by the version being ommited. It would be interesting to know after
the change you made if anymore of these evil serialVersionUID errors
pop up.

Anyways, there were *real* problems with the car plugin. The version
should have also been specified and its good you found that... but I
really don't think that all problems we have been seeing with cars
simply goes way by setting the version. If only life was that
easy... I'm afraid its not.
