I fixed the site docs a while ago in the source [1], but never got around to
doing a release, so the site didn't get updated.  It's been hard to tell how
many people are actually using that plugin so I didn't put too much effort into it.

I was also under the impression that Arquillian would reduce/eliminate the need
for the jboss maven plugin, but I don't know too much about it.  Maybe we should
meet up next week to discuss?
