Thanks to both of you. The OpenEJB solution seems very clean, the openejb-examples-3.1.4.tar.gz<http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/openejb/3.1.4/openejb-examples-3.1.4.tar.gz> and openejb-examples-3.1.4.zip<http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/openejb/3.1.4/openejb-examples-3.1.4.zip> from http://openejb.apache.org/download.html contain "simple-mdb" and "simple-mdb-with-descriptor" examples that are both maven projects.
This might be enough for me to get integration tests working, however... I would also like to persue embedded container deployment (such as Glassfish and/or JBoss... or ?????). I am not sure if http://www.jboss.org/arquillian is a good solution or not, I'll look at this when the openejb solution is working. Thanks heaps!
