How to deploy jar file to JBoss EAP comes along with dependencies by maven

Question

I'm struggling with deploying a jar file to JBoss EAP 6. My app depends on some dependencies. I tried to do some hacks such as using maven-jar-plugin, maven-assembly-plugin but neither work. By the way, I tried to make the jar file has the structure like this:

|-- my-project.jar
    |-- META-INF
        |-- MANIFEST.MF
    |-- <classes>
    |-- lib
        |-- dependency1.jar
        |-- dependency2.jar

But I found that definitely not works. Because there is no way a jar can load a jar inside itself.

Any idea?

You can create a module for each dependency you need and that is not already included in JBoss modules:

Then you need to specify a dependency on your module in the deployment META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
