At the moment, I'm facing the following problems: * context root of web-module * republish after changes * module name is part of global JNDI name For testing purposes I have created some maven modules with m2e. business (root module) + business-ear (application.xml is generated) + business-core (ejb module containing the EJB implementation) + business-services (ejb client view) + business-ws (web module containing a WS that references the local EJB) ticket (root module) + ticket-ear (application.xml is generated) + ticket-core (ejb module containing the EJB implementation) + ticket-services (ejb client view) *context root of the web-module* Although business-ear/pom.xml contains a specific context-root, the web-module is only accessible under module-name-version (e.g. business-ws-1.0.0) <plugin>   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>   <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>   <version>2.4.1</version>   <configuration>       <version>5</version>       <generateApplicationXml>true</generateApplicationXml>        <modules>          <ejbModule>              <groupId>org.foo</groupId>                <artifactId>business-core</artifactId>           </ejbModule>           <webModule>                <groupId>org.foo</groupId>                <artifactId>business-ws</artifactId>                <contextRoot>business-services_v1_0</contextRoot>            </webModule>        </modules>   </configuration> </plugin> Do I have to provide some specific settings/configuration in this case? *republish after changes* The republishing of JEE modules (e.g. WS-Implementation within the web-module) works only, if I perform a "project > clean" on all maven modules. In this case, all maven modules get redeployed correctly. Otherwise, the server state shortly changes to "republish", but the server does not reload the components (=> service behaviour does not change!). Do I have to change any Eclipse settings to avoid "project > clean" after any changes? *module name is part of global JNDI name* AFAIK, the EAR name is part of the EJBs global JNDI name. For example: TicketService - EJB3.x Default Remote Business Interface ticket-ear/TicketServiceBean/remote-at.logis.was.ticket.TicketService - EJB3.x Remote Business Interface This global name is used to reference this EJB via injection @EJB(mappedName="ticket-ear/TicketServiceBean") private TicketService ticketService; Within Eclipse, the module's version number is not recognized. But when building the components at command line, the version number is added to the EAR by default (e.g. ticket-ear-1.0.0). Therefore, the mapped-name has to be changed to “ticket-ear-1.0.0/TicketServiceBean” before. From my point of view, it is good to have version numbers to support parallel installation of different versions. But how can I tell Eclipse/M2E/... to use version numbers within my workspace as well?
