Using the Maven EJB Plugin.

Set the packaging for the module to ejb and the ejbVersion to 3.0:

<packaging>ejb</packaging>

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-ejb-plugin</artifactId>

          </manifest>
        </archive>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

…and using the Maven WAR Plugin

This is a useful note on creating a minimal web.xml: Creating minimal web.xml for your servlet.

Test

I managed to run my test servlet at: http://localhost:8080/j2ee-simple-servlet/HelloClientServlet

I found the URL by checking the log entry where the servlet was deployed:

Loading web module [j2ee-simple-ear-1:j2ee-simple-servlet-1.0.war] in virtual server [server] at [/j2ee-simple-servlet]

Dependency Injection

To get dependency injection working with the @EJB attribute I had to update the web.xml version to 2.5. Click here for more information, Issues
