"Hi Sandra,

We do this to be flexible in deploying the application version. We used to do it in the ear file, but that limited us to the current version. Basically we use the exec plugin in combination with the admin_jar utility; I'll post an example later. I haven't tried the new cargo plugin for OC4J and have limited experience with 11g.

I still don't understand this explanation. Do you use the jpr files in maven execution?

In addition, we use ant build files as wrapper for maven tasks instead of external tools.
