Ok, so the real solution I think is to add the jboss-packaging plugin to your pom. | <plugin> | <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> | <artifactId>jboss-packaging-maven-plugin</artifactId> | <version>2.0-beta-1</version> | <extensions>true</extensions> | </plugin> | I didn't see at first that the two dependencies that it's complaining about are sar files.
