Where is the ear packaging support?

[cvolk]

Forge is awesome, and I'm loving the active development.  However, there is one large glaring hole in Forge - lack of enterprise (.ear) packaging support (!!). 

org.jboss.forge.project.packaging.PackagingType has not been updated in 10 months and does not have ear packaging as a type...and the cli chokes if you try to build a full set of modules  Also, Forge apparently supports OSGi packaging - but not ear packaging??

I'd love to contribute and take this on, but 70 hour weeks right now don't allow for that. 

Any chance this is on the radar for some release reasonably soon?  I really need to be able to build full projects, not simple war files.

Thanks for the great work!

Hi Chris,

This is a good point. We were targeting the EE6 web-profile, but we should certainly look in to this. If you could spare a few minutes of your valuable time to file a JIRA and explain what you expect and what forge is missing, we would be very appreciative! https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE Thank you very much!

Thanks for the quick response, Lincoln.  I have filed FORGE-604 for this.  Down the road I would love to get involved in this project.

Keep rockin'! :-)
