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? > What exactly is it that you need to do that it can't? 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.
