I looked in the mailing lists and in JIRA to see if this had been reported
and I didn't find it.. Please excuse me if this is a duplicate report.
It looks as if the XML schema is out of sync with the POM documentation page.
The following fragment from the POM's documentation page does not appear in
the published XSD:
http://maven.apache.org/maven2/maven-model/maven.html
<executions>
<pluginExecution>
<id/>
<phase/>
<goals/>
<inherited/>
<configuration/>
</pluginExecution>
</executions>
Maven 2 XSD http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd
In addition, in a post from the Maven User mailing list the following
fragment was reported to work, and it matches neither of the published formats:
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>sablecc</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>

Would someone please sync the various documents with the code?
