Using the ejb-client as a dependency

 The EJB Plugin is capable of generating another artifact aside from the primary one which is EJB. To choose the EJB client
 as the dependency just specify the <<<type>>> as <<<ejb-client>>>.

* Normal way of adding an EJB dependency

 The following dependency declaration would include the primary EJB artifact <<<ejb-project-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar>>> in your
 project's package.

+------------+
<project>
  [...]
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.example</groupId>
      <artifactId>ejb-project</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      <type>ejb</type>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  [...]
</project>
+------------+

* Using the ejb-client

 Using the following dependency declaration would instead use the ejb-client artifact
 <<<ejb-project-1.0-SNAPSHOT-client.jar>>> in your project's package.

+------------+
<project>
  [...]
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.example</groupId>
      <artifactId>ejb-project</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      <type>ejb-client</type>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  [...]
</project>
+------------+
