building an ejb

[Gonzalo Vásquez Sáez]

I can't generate the JAR for an ejb using maven

I do have my META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file under the directory specified under
/project/build/sourceDirectory (as if it were an xpath expression), this is
an extract:

<project>
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
   <groupId>net.excelsys.framework</groupId>
   <artifactId>timedOps</artifactId>
   <packaging>ejb</packaging>
   <version>1.0.0</version>
   <description></description>
   <build>
       <sourceDirectory>ejbmodule</sourceDirectory>
   </build>......

so the ejb-jar.xml is in /ejbmodule/META-INF directory


what is the proper path to place that file? how can I override that default
setting?
