> With the release of maven-ear-plugin 2.3, it has become default behavior to include a <module><java> tag in the generated application.xml for dependencies of type ejb-client.
> This is not the intended use of the <module><java> tag and it also causes errors in Websphere 5.1. <module><java> is for application client modules (j2ee modules with an application-client.xml deployment descriptor) and certainly not for ejb-client jars (which are from a j2ee perspective regular java jar files).
> I understand from the discussion in MEAR-46 that JBoss users sometimes use the <module><java> tags as a means to document the jars that make up an ear. This is al fine, but don't make this the default.
> I suggest turning the behavior around and switching the default to no inclusion in the generated application.xml
