The Maven team is pleased to announce the EAR plugin 1.4 release!

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

The Maven EAR plugin helps with building J2EE EAR files.

Fixed/changed in this version

o Introduced ear.module property to mark jars as being java client modules
o The ear.bundle property now just includes the jar in the EAR
o Added to the plugin tests a check to make sure the ear includes the jars marked by 
  ear.bundle and ear.module and that ear.module generates a java module in the generated
  application.xml

Note that this plugin has been tested with Maven 1.0 rc2 SNAPSHOT. Using it with
another version of Maven is at your own risk! :-)

You can download and install the EAR plugin by using

maven -DgroupId=maven -DartifactId=maven-ear-plugin -Dversion=1.4 plugin:download

Have fun!
