Refer original post here for a reference to the original issue. What plugin should I use to deploy the jackrabbit rar as a separate entity to the jboss installation. I tried the rar module within the maven-ear-plugin which was actually packaging this within the ear file and the rar plugin which seems to be used for packaging a rar. Currently I am using the antrun plugin to deploy the rar file and it's associated ds.xml, is there a different plugin to automate direct deployment.

If you want to deploy jackarabbit rar as a separate entity, then this is not what you want. And anyway, the maven-ear-plugin is for packaging, not deployment.
and the rar plugin which seems to be used for packaging a rar
Again, this plugin is for packaging, not deployment.
Currently I am using the antrun plugin to deploy the rar file and it's associated ds.xml
This doesn't look so bad to me.

I've checked Cargo but it doesn't seem to support the deployment of rar and -ds.xml files (CARGO-261). So this leaves you with the maven-jboss-plugin (see the Deploy/Undeploy Examples). Not tested though.

I will probably stick with the antrun option for the time being. I am using JBoss 5.x and hence not sure if I can get the deploy / undeploy tasks running in my current environment.
