Note that the package is not org.jopas, but just jopas. In the tag definition, there is a line break just before jopas. If I remove that line break, all works fine. I think this gives indication to very gragilepom reading.. either this plugin or maven. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
