The original feature request was created in m2e-wtp (Add support for SAR projects)

The idea is to create a set of configurators, to handle jboss packages packages (http://mojo.codehaus.org/jboss-packaging-maven-plugin/).

The configurators would work pretty much the same as the Connector configurator :

• read the jboss-packaging-maven-plugin
• all dependencies would have to be declared in .component
• the project woul have to have the utility facet, in order to be deployed in an EAR

First configurator would support SAR projects
