I also suspect that you want to know how to convince Maven to copy your Messaging.jar file to the deploy directory. For that I don't know - I use Ant to do all of my deploying, even if I build with Maven. I'm not sure that's it - that Messaging directory name is taken straight from the artifactId in the Maven pom.xml. You wouldn't normally put the .jar/.ear etc. extension in there. I think the way this is supposed to work is that it depends on the component-info.xml, but my copy of that file has been incorrectly generated because I am missing some essential setting in the maven-jboss-deploy-plugin configuration.
