Yes certainly you are right the ejb.jar is nothing else than a normal
.jar, but I expected the ejb3 task to optionally produce the
ejb-client.jar, containing of the the interfaces and its dependencies,
plus creating the Class-Path: entry to the ejb-client.jar in the
ejb.jar. So I have to do all that manuall now? This is taken away the
magic I hoped maven2 would bring to my builds... :-(
