Exactly my point :-) It looks like the developers of the
maven-ejb-plugin didn't expect anyone to create stand alone EJB jar
files. Then again, a jar isn't supposed to contain other jars. If you
create a single jar out of several distinct jars, the classes in the
distinct jar are extracted and packaged in the single jar. That way the
classes are available but you no longer have the separate jars. To
circumvent this issue, the ear file type was created.
So, in short, I *think* what you're trying to do is not very common. I
suppose you should create an ear with the EJB jar and the log4j jar in
it, especially when using Java EE5. And I don't think this is different
in Java EE6.
