This is correct, there are no EJB's in this EJB project yet.
The idea is to create session beans that use the JPA Entities using the
NetBeans - generate Session beans from Entities classes wizard.
Hmmm... Perhaps you are correct. I will try add at least one session bean to
the project tomorrow.
(I know not having at least one Session bean in a Maven EJB project will
cause a rubbish EJB - JAR, but I think it fails on the descriptor format)
I'll attach my maven project as is, to the issue so someone can at least
take a look for now.
