Introduction

  This plugin generates J2EE Enterprise Archive (EAR) file. It can also generate the deployment
  descriptor file (e.g. application.xml)

  The full description of goals is available {{{index.html}here}}.

Supported artifacts

  The EAR plugin supports the following artifacts:

  * ejb

  * war

  * jar

  * ejb-client

  * rar

  * ejb3

  * par

  * sar

  * wsr


  If you need to map a custom artifact type to one of those types, use the 'customArtifactTypeMappings'.

  For instance, to map a custom 'my-rar' to the 'rar' standard artifact's type, add the following to
  the pom's configuration:

+--------
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <artifactTypeMappings>
            <artifactTypeMapping type="my-rar" mapping="rar"/>
          </artifactTypeMappings>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
