EJB Client JAR
Using Maven2's ejb package, I was able to create an ejb-jar from my sources.
But not I want Maven to create an "EJB Client JAR", that only contains
the interfaces, and make another JAR dependent of that "EJB Client JAR"
(by means of Class-Path: entry in MANIFEST.MF).
How to do that?

Thanks a lot for this link, in fact I have learned from it that it is
possible (a) to create EJB3 compliant JARs (b) to not only specify
excludes but also includes.

And you can config this ejb client jar with |clientExcludes parameter in
|maven-ejb-plugin as documented here:

Configure you ejb plugin like this:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-ejb-plugin</artifactId>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
</manifest>
</archive>
<generateClient>true</generateClient>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
then in you module where you have dependency of this ejb client jar :
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>your_group_id</groupId>
<artifactId>dbserviceejb</artifactId>
<version>${version}</version>
<type>ejb-client</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Actually I don't want to do that but I want to know and do the
maven-ejb-plugin way.

I am not sure whether this is the only benefit, maybe in will understand
it completely once I have more experience with it it looked at the
source code. Unfortunately Maven2's Plugins are not documented very well.
The single artefact policy is a drawback in many ways, since we often
have source codes that in fact shall result in two or more artefacts
(from a technical view) or infact shall not be split up into several
projects (from a management view). In fact I am not aware what the
Maven2 authors intended when they introduced this policy, since it often
makes sense to have more than one artefact and I don't see a large
problem to introduce one more <artefact> tag in the pom or change the
API of Maven to make plugins aware of more than one artefact.
But this is another discussion... ;-)
Thanks

One other concern would be that in general, the EJB client generation
from the same EJB module violates Maven's principle of one artifact per
project/module. As I understand it today, the only benefit of using it
is that it will generate a separate JAR file in the repo that can be
referenced by a client as an EJB client dependency and that you can
selectively filter out classes (bean classes, etc.) from the client jar
(but not dependencies carried over from the EJB or any of its transitive
dependencies).

Markus,
No problem.
I think because of transitive dependencies, the only way they could make
it work would be to qualify the dependencies which would introduce
problems elsewhere. Even if the plugin did provide this feature,
unfortunately for me, I don't think it would be able to accommodate my
team's requirement for compiling the client at a different JRE target
level, though.

Not necessarily the maven-ejb-plugin way, but you can create a separate
module for the EJB client and then add a compile dependency on the that
project in your EJB project's pom. We did this to get around the fact
that using the generateClient option on the maven-ejb-plugin generates a
pom for the client with way too many dependencies (includes all of the
EJBs dependencies) and so that we could compile the EJB in 1.5 but
compile the client under 1.4.

But not I want Maven to create an "EJB Client JAR", that only contains

(by means of Class-Path: entry in MANIFEST.MF).
