Build an ear using maven

Question

I am new with maven, i have a task to change building of an ear from ant build to maven build. Are somewhere some tutorials related to this, how to build an ear using maven ?

Please guide me if you know something related to this....

Thanks

EDIT:

Thanks a lot for posting, i read the given links, how i understood from there, the war file and the ejb jar should be deployed to artifactory (company repository), so that its could be added as dependency in pom file from ear.

Also an ear could contain more than one war file (because i believe that my ear will contain more than one war file) ?

Please let me know if i understood right this...

Solution

You may use the Maven EAR Plugin
