I have some questions here:
1. How to tell the maven-ear-plugin to use my application.xml? And where in the
ear directory should I place my own application.xml?
2. Because of the dependency on the ejb, I have to run mvn install in the ejb
directory before I can run mvn compiler:compile in the war directory. Is there
any way (like target dependencies in ant) to tell maven to compile / install
all modules needed before the mvn compiler:compile is executed?
3. In my application.xml, beside the ejb and war modules, I need to add one
more module like this:
<module><ejb>jboss-seam-2.1.1.GA.jar</ejb></module>
The jboss seam jar file can be found with a <dependency>. What should I do to
tell maven to include that file into the root of the ear file it creates when I
run mvn ear:ear in the ear directory?
4. If I don't want to create the seam-glassfish-ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT.ear file, but
a seam-glassfish-ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT_ear directory in which the ejb module is
unpacked in the seam-glassfish-ejb-1.0-SNAPSHOT_jar directory, the war module
is unpacked in the seam-glassfish-war-1.0-SNAPSHOT_war directory and the jboss
seam library above is unpacked in the jboss-seam-2.1.1.GA_jar directory, what
should I do?
I read the http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/ but found no shine
to my questions (maybe there are, but not apparent to a maven newbie like me).
Thank you.
