Using optional packages with EARs

["Vogel,Chris" <ch...@edwardjones.com>]

I'm relatively new to Maven and am trying to build an EAR file, while
using the optional packages capability of our application server.  So,
in my project, I have an EJB module that has a dependency on
commons-lang, with no scope definition (so, compile).  In the EAR
module, I specify the EJB module as a dependency and specify to
maven-ear-plugin to add extensions to the manifest.  When I do that, I
get commons-lang in the Extension-List manifest entry, but the JAR file
is also included in the EAR file.

I'm sure it is something simple I am missing, but I have not been able
to find it.  Has anyone every tried this and succeeded?

Thank you,

Chris

Second try: Using optional packages with EARs

I'm re-posting because I didn't get any response the first time.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Just to let you know, I know that I have the option of hand generating
the manifest file, but I'd prefer that it be generated.

Thanks,

Chris
