maven-ear-plugin

I am using Eclipse 3.7 Indigo with Maven M2E Plugin 1.0.100. Using the JBoss 7.x JavaEE 6 EAR archetype, the pom for EAR is giving me this error: Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-ear-plugin:2.6:generate-application-xml (execution: default-generate-application-xml, phase: generate-resources) <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.6</version> <configuration> <!-- Tell Maven we are using Java EE 6 --> <version>6</version> <!-- Use Java EE ear libraries as needed.

I am just switching from Ant to Maven and am trying to figure out the best practice to set up a EAR file based Enterprise project? Let's say I want to create a pretty standard project with a jar file for the EJBs, a WAR file for the Web tier and the encapsulating EAR file, with the corresponding deployment descriptors. How would I go about it? Create the project with archetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp as with a war file, and extend from there? What is the best project structure (and POM file example) for this? Where do you stick the ear file related deployment descriptors, etc? Thanks
