We are pleased to announce the Maven JBoss Plugin 1.1 release! 

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

Plugin for JBoss 

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

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Added deploy/undeploy targets for jar/war/ear using JBoss' jmx console. 
  Thanks to James Johnson. 
o Added new maven.jboss.hostnameplugin property. It defaults to localhostand 
  gives the host name of the server to stop when calling maven jboss:stop. 
  Thanks to James Ward. 

  Fixed bugs:

o Application-specific JBoss configuration files now correctly overwrite the 
  default JBoss configuration files. Thanks to Willie Vu. 
o JBoss failed to start on unix. This has been fixed. Thanks to James Ward. 

  Changes:

o Allowed deployments of EAR, WAR or EJB-JAR (only EAR was previously 
  supported) by adding the jboss:package-ear, jboss:package-ejband 
  jboss:package-wargoals. The jboss:packagegoal has been renamed 
  jboss:configureand now simply creates a custom JBoss server configuration 
  (with nothing from the project deployed in it).
