EAR Modules
The EAR Plugin supports additional configurations of the following modules:
If the artifact you want to configure is not listed above, you can create your own custom artifact configuration by following the adding custom artifact types guide below this page.
These module names go into the modules parameter of the EAR Plugin. For example, to configure the properties of an EjbModule, the EAR Plugin configuration for modules would look like:
<project>
[...]
<build>
[...]
<plugins>
[...]
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<modules>
<ejbModule>
<!-- property configurations goes here -->
</ejbModule>
</modules>
</configuration>
</plugin>
[...]
</project>
The following configuration options are available for EjbClientModule:

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>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<artifactTypeMappings>
<artifactTypeMapping type="my-rar" mapping="rar"/>
</artifactTypeMappings>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
