The Maven team is pleased to announce the JBoss plugin 1.1 release!

http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/jboss

The Maven JBoss plugin is a plugin containing goals useful for creating
a JBoss server configuration and deploying J2EE modules in it.

Changes in this version include:

o Application-specific JBoss configuration files now correctly overwrite
  the default JBoss configuration files.
vo Allowed deployments of EAR, WAR or EJB-JAR (only EAR was previously 
  supported) by adding the "jboss:package-ear", "jboss:package-ejb" and 
  "jboss:package-war" goals. The "jboss:package" goal has been renamed
  "jboss:configure" and now simply creates a custom JBoss server configuration 
  (with nothing from the project deployed in it).        
o Added deploy/undeploy targets for jar/war/ear using JBoss' jmx console.
o Added new maven.jboss.hostname plugin property. It defaults to "localhost"
  and gives the host name of the server to stop when calling
  "maven jboss:stop".
o JBoss failed to start on unix. This has been fixed.

Note that this plugin has been tested with Maven beta 10. Using it with
another version of Maven is at your own risks! :-)

Have fun!
