Hi Andreas The problem is ${maven.build.dest}.Take it out and substitute with the the actual path from /target/classes.../META-INF.I had the same problem and that's how i got mine to work.If you check my post about having resources copied the same directory as the classes. jeff mutonho

When there are resources defined in the project.xml and the ejb:install goal is invoked, the target path for the resources is duplicated. Any idea what the reason for that strange behaviour is? I don't want to quote the whole output from 'maven -X ...' yet, maybe someone encountered also the same problem once and nows how to deal with it. resource definition from project.xml: ${basedir}/j2eesdk/1.4.01/src/deployment/ejb/META-INF ${maven.build.dest}/META-INF *.xml Starting the reactor...
