Well, in M2 we do have standard goals (install, package, deploy). In order to invoke the right operation, one need to specify the packaging type of the project.
Building the EAR in the EJB project won't work because .... it's an EJB project! It builds an ejb-jar, not an ear file. While it sounds easy in a first place, it's alway better to cleanely separate things. (see samples of J2EE projects).
