[Maven2] Adding transitive dependencies in EAR

[Joel COSTIGLIOLA \(Services DPT SYSTEME D INFORMATION METIER\)]

Hi,

I'm working on a project (ObjetTrouve) that offers services as EJB packaged in 
an EAR.

ObjetTrouve structure :
- ObjetTrouveEAR (depends on ObjetTrouveEJB and ObjetTrouveService)
- ObjetTrouveEJB (depends on ObjetTrouveService)
- ObjetTrouveService (depends on third party jar like Spring, log4j, ...)

When buiding the EAR with maven it only packages the direct dependencies i.e. 
ObjetTrouveEJB and ObjetTrouveService, my application can not work without 
third party jar needed by ObjetTrouveService.

Questions : 
1 - how configure the EAR plugin to include the dependencies of 
ObjetTrouveService ?
2 - Is there an elegant solution to this problem ?

One solution may be to repeat ObjetTrouveService dependencies in the EAR 
project pom.xml but it's an ugly solution as I need to duplicate information.

For information here's EAR pom.xml :
