Description

Before this issue resolution http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-826 , all jar dependencies were added into the application.xml. After the resolution, it was not added and a property was added on the javaModule element in order to add it into the application.xml.

With a big ear project with a lot of direct or transitive dependencies, it is becoming really long and a source of errors when a transitive dependency is changing.
My application server (JBoss 4.0.5GA) needs to add the jar modules in the application.xml.

The default behaviour should not be changed, I added a property which includes all jar dependencies in the application.xml. If the property is not set, nothing changes.

The patch was built against the ear plugin's trunk, it includes a test (project 43).
