> Environment: any

>
> Currently the maven ear plugin only supports JEE application clients by
> defining them as jarmodules with <includeInApplicationXML>true</true>. This
> is a bit to hacky as Applicaiton client modules are first class EAR citizens
> as ejb, war and rar modules.
> The patch provided here is half of my attempt to upgrade this application
> client modules to be maven ear first citizens.
> I have created a maven-car-plugin defining a packaging type 'car' (in same
> manner as war, ejb or rar).
> http://code.google.com/p/maven-car-plugin/
> The patch provided here, adds support to maven-ear-plugin to recognize the
> 'car' packaging type, include the artifact in the root of the ear and adds
> the corresponding entry to application.xml
> Note that i would like this to be temporary and would prefer to see the car
> packaging type, the maven-car-plugin be core maven plugins with gorupid
> org.maven.plugins as there is no reason for application clients not having
> same support as war, ejb or rar modules.
> I feel this extra module, packaging type and plugin are needed as confusion
> has been arising around application clients
