Why you don't use the xdoclet plugin? It simplify the maven.xml Emmanuel

I wrote the wiki example for EJB generation using maven (http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/CreatingEjbApplications) and have used the ant task to execute xdoclet with much success. my example can be used to generate as many ejbs as you'd like without creating more projects. Let me know if you have questions or comments. I'd be glad to help out, since i've been through this integration frustration.
