¿Como armar un EAR con Maven?

Para armar un EAR con Maven podemos utilizar este POM de ejemplo:

Observar que elegimos tener el war expandido:
<unpack>true</unpack>

Hay que previamente instalar en Maven el WAR:

    mvn install:install-file
         -Dfile=c:\javaen\desa\myApiRest\target\myApp-1.0.war 
         -DgroupId=com.mycompany.myApp_war
         -DartifactId=myApp 
         -Dversion=1.0
         -Dpackaging=war

Luego el siguiente pom.xml es valido

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
