Maven EAR: ejb module + application client (app client) module

I want to create an EAR project that consists of an EJB 3.1 module and an app client module, the app client talking to the ejb module through @Remote interface... I have done this many times in the past with ANT but I would like to do it with Maven

I've been googeling it for days and i have found some workarounds but i havent found a maven-app-client-plugin...

I cant find the jira to raise this as an enhancement, does anyone know if this exi开发者_运维百科sts or how to start if one wants to contribute to this.... how to tauch basis with the maven crew, etc.

Pablo.

I finally contacted Stephane Nicolle, the person who developed Maven Ear plugin and he just created a maven-acr-plugin Java EE app clients and accomodated Maven EAR plugin to recognize a new app-client packaging type.

So as of Maven EAR plugin 2.6, there is official maven support for Java EE app clients

Thank you

Basically that this is an EAR Project i would recommend to use the Maven EAR Plugin.
