Yes, please; please don't let .ear files languish—if you have an
application-specific connector, which is not rare, they are the only way to
do things by the book.
Another use case: bundling different JAX-RS-compliant applications (skinny
wars) that have their JAX-RS resources actually stored and auto-discovered
in the ear file's lib directory; makes end user customization/packaging a
lot easier.
Please don't kick the .ear file to the curb! :-)
Best,
