The problem is very simple.  That processed plan begins with
<module xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.1">
 <environment xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2">

which is rejected when deployed on G 1.1.
Btw, it really sounds weird that the plugin process the environment tag, but not
the module tag...
My fix is to allow specifying the target geronimo version, so that the plugin
will build the namespace uri dynamically: URI_PREFIX + 1.2. This works.

What I meant, is that I' m not convinced that the API will never change and
that a single plugin will be able to handle all versions in the future.
This is already the case for the schema which are upgraded by default, even
if no change happen (I do not argue against that, just stating the fact).  But
if something change, the plugin will need to cope with the difference.
Is that what we want ?

Also, I think it would be good to be able to release the plugin without having
to wait for G 1.2 final, so that users can build G 1.1 plugins easily.
