Is there a reason for this decision? The simplest way to handle ears and

What does building the ear yourself buy you?
Hi Graham,
there are two reasons.
1. I didn't want to create a new java project only to package an EAR file.
Well, this reason is not quite cogent, I suppose. When using Maven one
should engage with Maven's multi module approach.
2. I want my EAR file named after a predefined pattern. It shall be name
like appname.ear_<timestamp>, e.g. "appname.ear_20070927". I tried to
achieve this with Maven before (with build/finalname) but with no success.
ANT allows me to name the resulting EAR file whatever I like.
So if someone knows a trick for solving the 2nd problem, I'd prefer a
separate EAR module.
What is you problem with build/finalname? Generating the timestamp? Have
a look at the buildnumber-plugin [1].
Bye, Stefan
