:-) Sure, it's natural to take shortcuts from time to time. It only
increases our "technical debt" for the future

Then I guess we could refactor the EAR plugin to support this in some
manner...

[OT] I've had a quick look at the EAR plugin and I don't understand the way
it's implemented which I find very complex. Do you know why we don't use the
<zipfileset prefix=""> Ant tag instead of copying around dependencies in a
temporary directory?
