-Creating Skinny WARs
-
- In a typical J2EE environment, a WAR is packaged within an EAR for deployment.  The
- WAR can contain all its dependent JARs in <<<WEB-INF/lib>>> but then the EAR can quickly grow
- very large if there are multiple WARs, due to the presence of duplicate JARs.  Instead
- the J2EE specification allows WARs to reference external JARs packaged within the EAR
- via the <<<Class-Path>>> setting in their <<<MANIFEST.MF>>>.
-
- The Maven EAR Plugin has direct support for creating skinny wars which simply
- means to {{{http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/examples/skinny-wars.html}configure the maven-ear-plugin}}
- accordingly.
-
- You need to change the EAR project's <<<pom.xml>>> to package those dependent JARs in the EAR.
- Notice that we package everything into a <<<lib/>>> directory within the EAR.  This is
- just my own personal preference to distinguish between J2EE modules (which will
- be packaged in the root of the EAR) and Java libraries (which are packaged in <<<lib/>>>).

-+-----------------+
-
- Now the painful part.  Your EAR project's <<<pom.xml>>> needs to list every dependency that the WAR has.
- This is because Maven assumes fat WARs and does not include transitive dependencies
- of WARs within the EAR.
-
-+-----------------+

-      <type>war</type>
-    </dependency>
-  </dependencies>
-  ...
-</project>
-+-----------------+
-
- Your EAR will contain something like this:
-
------------------
- .
- |-- META-INF
- |   `-- application.xml
- |-- lib
- |   `-- shared-jar-1.0.0.jar
- |-- war1-1.0.0.war
- `-- war2-1.0.0.war
