Ajith, Thanks for the reply.
I understand that aar is a jar file with a special format. What I am wondering is if maven2 is aware of this 'special format'? As I understand maven2, it uses the packaging tag to 'know' what to do to make the artifact. So can I do the following? <packaging>aar</packaging> Or do I have to use the default packaging of jar and then rename? If this is the case, how do I rename in maven2? Also regarding the services.xml file, is there any help in maven2 to auto generate this? If not, this probably isn't a big deal. Regarding the war, yes I did mean how to package the aar in the war. You state how to do this but I am wondering if there is any maven2 help for this as well. Depending on the answers above, the aar may be known by maven2 as jar and/or aar and have to be copied and/or renamed as aar. It seems this could all be automated possibly.

Hi, an aar is a jar file with a special format. You can copy the compiled classes into the relevant directory structure and use the jar command with maven2 if you want. If you are planning to use generated code then it will be convenient to call the generated ant build script. I don't really get what is meant by "Take the Axis2 aar and make the Axis war needed for deployment" ! Did you mean to say that you should have a war with your service pre-packed ? If so just package the services/xxx.aar into the web-inf folder of the war file.
