Netbeans has an integration with Glassfish where it can deploy an ear as a directory. This does not currently work with the "skinny war recipe" in maven. Bug 199096 is the source of the trouble. Since the skinny war renames jars and depends on those names and the bug causes the naming to not work, the deploy fails because it can't see the various components of the ear. In our case we've got an ear containing two wars, an ejb jar, and many libraries with a (typical for JEE) ugly interdependency graph.
Found this while trying out JRebel, which is an awesome product. We are buying it today at my work.
A Java developer's place to write down things that were somewhat obscure or difficult to piece together, that were worth remembering and writing run-on sentences about.
This bug was fixed 6/2012.
