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 $mavenArchiverVersion.

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

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.
