There is Readme, you can view install script when are problems, you can change install script to do workaround.

Encapsulation! :D I don't understand your Linux comparison; in standard RedHat packaging a RPM also will self-extract and install itself. I believe implementation details *should* be hidden to the user. The contract is that this artifact patches AS. The issue of "how" is out-of-scope, but you can still get at the working parts underneath if you need to. | | S, | ALR Hm encapsulation yes, but give additional ways to do workaround problems. So attach ejb3-plugin sources to jar ;). Of course sources of all jars are not need. And give README with info from run this script.
