Usage

The EJB Plugin is used to package an EJB module. There are two ways to use the EJB Plugin:

• If the packaging type defined in the pom.xml is ejb, the package lifecycle phase can be used

    mvn package

• or using the ejb:ejb goal

    mvn ejb:ejb

To handle archiving this version of Maven EJB Plugin uses Maven Archiver 2.6.

To handle filtering this version of Maven EJB Plugin uses Maven Filtering 1.3.

The plugin doesn't do any EJB specific processing during the generation of the JAR except for validating the existence of an EJB deployment descriptor if the EJB version is 2.0+, but it provides the following customization:

• The EJB version to use
• Generating and customizing an ejb-client

  Note: The dependencies will not be package with the EJB JAR.
