Problems using Java Web Start - Application Client - Libraries not found

I am using Glassfish + Maven.

I am generating an EAR with an application Client inside.

The resulting ear has all dependent libraries in EAR's lib directory.

When I try to launch the Java Web Start, it fails. The message is not too
clear...

Checking the server.log I can see the following error:
[#|2011-10-25T19:34:46.196-0200|SEVERE|glassfish3.1.1|javax.enterprise.system.container.appclient.org.glassfish.appclient.server.core.jws|_ThreadID=26;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|Adapter[/___JWSappclient/___app/EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR-0.1.1-SNAPSHOT]
EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR-0.1.1-SNAPSHOTClient/lib/jaxb-impl-2.2.2.jar

I searched for EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR-0.1.1-SNAPSHOTClient.jar and
found in it:
domain1/generated/xml/EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR-0.1.1-SNAPSHOT/EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR-0.1.1-SNAPSHOTClient.jar

This JAR file just includes AppClientGroupFacade and Manifest file:
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
org/glassfish/appclient/client/AppClientGroupFacade.class

The original EAR (found in
domain1/applications/EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR-0.1.1-SNAPSHOT) contains
the correct dependency:
domain1/applications/EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR-0.1.1-SNAPSHOT/lib/jaxb-impl-2.2.2.jar

The META-INF/application.xml generated by Maven has the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd" version="6">
  <description>Módulo EAR do Povoador do OCONSI</description>
  <display-name>EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR</display-name>
  <module>
    <java>EconoInfo-ISEF-Testes-0.6.5-SNAPSHOT.jar</java>
  </module>
  <library-directory>lib</library-directory>
</application>

There isn't an application-client.xml inside Application Client jar.

How may I correct this problem to make Glassfish generate
domain1/generated/xml/EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR-0.1.1-SNAPSHOT/EconoInfo-OCONSI-PovoadorEAR-0.1.1-SNAPSHOTClient.jar
including the needed libraries?


Best regards,
