Hi Brat,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply!

Would you suggest that I can specify a packaging "my-rar" in my rar pom.xml,
but in my ear pom.xml, I can specify type as "rar" when I define my  rar
project 
as a dependency project?

Generally, we want to create a list of ArcheTypes defining a list of
standard project structures.
For rar, we need two types of rar projects: 

1). A rar project which contains the source code and will generate both jar
and rar file at the 
    end. This actually can be done by a RAR+Jar Plugin

2). A rar project for packaging which depends on a separate jar project,
assuming one jar would 
     be packaged into multiple rars with different configurations. this will
run into problem with 
     "mvn compile" or " mvn test" since this rar project does not create
"target/classes". This 
     can be worked out by introducing a rar-helper plugin to create an empty
target/classes 
     directory at "process-resources" phase.

Obviously, it would be very nice that there will be one Rar Plugin doing all
of these things.

Hope these information are helpful. 

Best regards,

Jian
