EAR plugin: application.xml generation without java

Hi,

I am wanting maven to produce an ear file that contains the ear.bundle=true
dependent jars, but withOUT the maven generated application.xml containing a
<module> definition for those jars.  Is this possible?

>From my cursory reading of the J2EE spec, a java type <module> is for a J2EE
client application, rather than for a supporting jar (eg. log4j-1.2.8.jar),
and I am finding WebSphere won't deploy these maven generated ear files.

Thanks,

Richard

Seems I'm talking to myself here!  This issue is in JIRA already - MPEAR-14

Would it make sense to create a new dependency type for J2EE client
applications (eg. 'client-jar'), and only have those dependencies end up
with a <module> in the application.xml (with jar dependencies still being
bundled in the ear, but without any mention in application.xml)?

Or would it be better to add a property for dependencies that specifies if
it is a J2EE client application, and only then is the <module> created.
This would be much like the existing ear.bundle property is used to decide
which jars go in the ear.

Or is there a better way to do this?  Any thoughts appreciated...
