We are pleased to announce the Maven EJB Plugin 1.6 release! 

http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/ejb/

EJB Plugin for Maven 

===============================================================================

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Added new maven.ejb.build.dirproperty that specifies the location where the 
  EJBs are generated. 

  Changes:

o Modified existing maven.ejb.final.nameproperty (and exposed it as a public 
  property) so that it doesn't include the path (the path is now provided by 
  the new maven.ejb.build.dirproperty). This allows aligning the WAR and EJB 
  plugin properties. Note: This is a breaking change for all those using the 
  maven.ejb.final.nameproperty (which was not a public property). 
o Made the maven.ejb.final.nameproperty public as it is required by several 
  other plugins and before this change the only way is for these plugins was 
  to call the non-public ejb:initgoal.  

===============================================================================
