ear-plugin : modifying manifest.mf in ejb projects

[Jan Kroken <ja...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

We are using the maven ear plugin to build ear files containing several ejb 
projects.
Each of these projects have a complex set of dependencies, not neccessarily 
with
the same version. We specify the libraries to include in the ear in the 
pom.xml of the
ear project, thus overriding any versions required by the ejb modules.

Unfortunately, the ear plugin doesn't update the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of the
included ejb projects. The EJB project will only have access to libraries 
properly
refered to from the manifest file, leaving the EJB projects with missing 
dependencies
runtime.

Is there an easy way to get this to work, or will I have to write a plugin 
to do this?

You have to configure both the EAR and EJB (or WAR) plugins for this, 
see the md4j-quickstarter POMs for an example. The POMs also have 
comments in them so it should be easy to figure out. The only downside 
is that you  have to duplicate the dependencies of the EJB (or WAR) 
modules in the EAR  module.

hth,
