Generating modules ID

  Some environment requires an ID to be generated for each module defined in the <<application.xml>>. Enabling
  the automatic IDs generation can be done as follows:

+--------
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
           [...]
           <generateModuleId>true</generateModuleId>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
+---------

  As a result, each module defined in the <<application.xml>> will have an ID unless an ID was provided in the
  configuration. To provide an explicit ID for a given module, use the <<moduleId>> attribute; for instance:

+--------
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
           [...]
           <modules>
             <ejbModule>
               <groupId>artifactGroupId</groupId>
               <artifactId>artifactId</artifactId>
               <moduleId>some-id</moduleId>
             </ejbModule>
          </modules>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
