You are right about the the connector module being for RAR modules only. I read
up on it and it seems SARs are not deployed from application.xml, but
jboss-app.xml instead. My bad.
I currently build my SAR module as a jar since sar is not working for me as a
packaging type. I noticed sarModule is expecting groupId:artifactId:sar:version
in the repository. I rename the .jar to .sar in my local repository, so Maven
can find it. The SAR module is now correctly included in the EAR.
I noticed the needed jboss-app.xml is not generated for the sar. So I wrote
wrote my own and configured the earSourceDirectory:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<generateApplicationXml>true</generateApplicationXml>
<earSourceDirectory>${basedir}/include</earSourceDirectory> <!-- place
jboss-app.xml in this directory -->
<modules>
<sarModule>
<groupId>myGroup</groupId>
<artifactId>myArtifact</artifactId>
</sarModule>
...
After some fiddling I got it working but it's not clean yet. I still need to
manually rename the .jar to .sar in the repository for each build.
How do I create an artifact of the type sar? Within my SAR project I tried
setting the packaging type to sar in the POM but it gives me this exception:
org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Cannot find lifecycle
mapping for packaging: 'sar'.
This seems odd as the maven-ear-module seems to "know" the sar package type
just fine. Am I missing something here?

A connector is a rar file as per spec. JBoss has its own sar format
which is supported in the EAR plugin. If you have a dependency of type
'sar' it should work out of the box.
You don't need to configure it in the <modules> section (regarding
includeInApplicationXml which is javaModule specific)

FYI, the supported implementations of EarModule are:
* jar
* ejb
* ejb-client
* ejb3
* par
* rar
* war
* sar
This is a good idea, I will update the doc for the next plugin's release.
Cheers,
Stéphane
