Generating ejb-client jar

[Jo Vandermeeren]

Hi there,

I'm playing around with the "Better builds with maven" book..
I'm following chapter 4..

I have defined a parent POM that contains 2 modules: mtracker-ejb and
mtracker-web..
The web module should depend on the ejb-client jar of the ejb module.

** But I can't seem to get the EJB module to produce the ejb-client jar
artifact..

I have this in my EJB module's POM:

<build>
       <plugins>
           <plugin>
               <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
               <artifactId>maven-ejb-plugin</artifactId>
               <configuration>
                   <generateClient>true</generateClient>
                   <clientExcludes>
                       <clientExclude>**/mtracker-ejb/*Bean.class
</clientExclude>
                   </clientExcludes>
               </configuration>
           </plugin>
[...]


This snippet is in the web module's POM:

<dependencies>
       <dependency>
           <groupId>mtracker</groupId>
           <artifactId>mtracker-ejb</artifactId>
           <version>${pom.version}</version>
           <type>ejb-client</type>
       </dependency>
[...]


When I do a "mvn install" on the EJB module, it does not generate an
ejb-client module

** Also, IntelliJ doesn't seem to recognize this module as an EJB module,
although the EJB module's POM has packaging set to "ejb"..


Any help on this would be appreciated..
