There are ways to do this. Bundling everything in an EAR and expecting it to work is not one of them.
One way to do this would be to create a separate project with packaging "pom" and then specify all the dependencies there (individually). Then in your ear project, add a <dependency> on that project with packaging "pom". If some of your dependencies are not available in the Maven repo, you will need to add them with "mvn install:install-file". But this is not always the right solution. Surely all of your projects do not require the exact same 50+ jars. Such a coarse approach to dependencies is not advisable for the long-term, generally.
