help needed for building ejb project with maven

Hi
I am a newbie to maven, hence patience solicited.

I have to build a project having ejbs using maven. I have googled around for this and now using ejb-plugin.

Now my problem is, how do I get persistence.xml specifically and any config generally, included in the jar's meta-inf folder.

I mean, what is the standard way? If it were ant, I would have simply copied the files before building the jar. Does the same hold true for maven?

You don't need any plugin for that. EJB deployments are plain .jar files (I know they can be deployed via a .war in EJB3.1, but that's a different topic). So all you have to do is have your project structure in the standard Maven layout:

And just do a

to generate the ejb jar.

Thanks!!
