As I understand it, this is correct because Maven already has a pre-defined lifecycle for projects of type war. You could potentially produce a fully-customized build of Maven that did not contain the pre-defined war packaging lifecycle, but I wouldn't want to be involved in supporting it and mandating your developers to use it instead of the usual Maven distribution etc. > When I use <packaging>exploded</packaging>, it works ok.

You would probably need to produce both exploded-war and exploded-ear packaging types and corresponding custom lifecycles.
