This issue was originally reported by Magne Nordtveit in 18/Jul/08 at codehaus.org - see more details at
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEVENIDE-651

===========
Description:
===========
When updating the mainClass in the UI, the UI should check the pom file and check if a mainClass is defined in a
jar-plugin configuration and update it if it is specified. It should however not update if it mainClass is in a profile.

what do you mean by "It should however not update if it mainClass is in a profile."?
That's why the automated editing of pom.xml is so hard. Stuff can be at many different places and it depends on the
final resolution what gets actually used.

What i ment was that the UI should just update the mainClass argument if, and only if, it already exists in the POM's
<build/> definition.
It should in my opinion not look in the <profiles/> as that might be used to activate different builds with different
main classes.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
