The Maven team is pleased to announce the JBoss plugin 1.2 release!

http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/jboss

The Maven JBoss plugin is a plugin containing goals useful for creating
a JBoss server configuration and deploying J2EE modules in it.

Changes in this version include (last changes first):

o Fixed bug when using JBoss 3.0.4/Tomcat 4.1.12 is used. When 
  jboss:start is executed, it causes a NoClassDefFoundError. This was due 
  to the working directory not being an absolute filename. Thanks to 
  Willie Wu.
o Copy dependencies using artifact path to allow jar overrides to work
o The plugin now supports JBoss 3.2.x by default. Support for
  JBoss 3.0.x is still available by setting the 
  maven.jboss.version=3.0 property.
o Added default start/stop script that are packaged into the 
  generated jboss zip. Custom scripts can also be provided by
  overriding the <code>maven.jboss.script.dir</code> property.        
o When generating the JBoss server configuration zip, exclude
  JBoss tmp and log directories from the zip.
o Change strategy for bunding J2EE modules in the jboss server 
  configuration. This is now achieved through dependencies in 
  project.xml. for any J2EE module you want to incude add a 
  jboss.bundle property in the said dependency definition.

Note that this plugin has been tested with Maven beta 10. Using it with
another version of Maven is at your own risks! :-)
