I'm following the JBoss.net documentation which is about web-services. I've been trying to get a .wsr file (jar formatted) into the ear file AND ensure it's registered in the application.xml as a module. The maven ear plugin does not support this (it's even documented that it doesn't). I want this so I fixed this in my local environment and I encourage the Maven developers to roll this change so that everyone can benefit.

What I did to fix this was modify the goal: ear:generate-ear-descriptor with 2 changes. I removed the J:when test for jar file extensions. Then I added at the bottom this:

<j:otherwise>
<j:if test="${dep.getProperty('ear.module')=='true'}">
<x:element name="module">
<x:element name="java">${dep.getArtifact()}</x:element>
</x:element>
</j:if>
</j:otherwise>
