That is a bug, logged in JIRA, and we have a fix coming up.

Because the task that creates application.xml doesn't know that the list of
components have changed.  I think there's a way to solve this, I'll log that
in JIRA, worth tying out:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-26?focusedCommentId=12564576#action_12564576

I'm not sure what this would entail, maybe Victor knows.
