Maven, maven, maven. It must be very nice and it is nice by a small application.

Now I want to build an ear project: with two EJB Modules, a web Module and ear module to build an ear file. Web Module is dependent on the other ejb modules..

How should I define Pom.xml in each Module so that web module can communicate with the other two ejb modules in ear and the ear module builds the right ear file?

What I have done before:

Module 1 --> Basic Module. All other modules are dependent to this Module. Basic functionality like login etc.

<packaging>ejb</packaging>

Module 1 --> Data Module. All Entites are here Type EJB

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.myCompnay</groupId>
    <artifactId>Modul_Basic</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <type>ejb</type>
</dependency

Module 2 --> Business Module. Businnes Facades are here. Type EJB

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.myCompnay</groupId>
    <artifactId>Modul_Basic</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <type>ejb</type>
</dependency            

Web Module -> Type is WAR

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.myCompnay</groupId>
        <artifactId>Modul_Basic</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <type>ejb</type>
    </dependency

EAR Module --> In this project I try to build the project.

<packaging>ear</packaging>

    <dependencies>
            <dependency>
        <groupId>com.myCompnay</groupId>
        <artifactId>Modul_Basic</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <type>ejb</type>
    </dependency
            <dependency>
        <groupId>com.myCompnay</groupId>
        <artifactId>Modul_Business</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <type>ejb</type>
    </dependency
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.myCompnay</groupId>
        <artifactId>Modul_WEB</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <type>war</type>
    </dependency
