> However, once I go into the ear module ( which contains pom to package all
> other artifacts like ejb, jar , war etc. ) and package the ear, it does not
> consider the artifacts with their finalnames but reads the artifacts from my
> local repository.
>
> This now poses problem because my configurations that I mentioned before do
> not work because they use finalNames and the ear generated through the ear
> pom xml contains artifacts with 'versions' from local repository.

> I am not quite sure about a good practice to followed in such scnearios,
