Maven deployment with Cargo plugin - Invalid property for deployable - maven

Question

The deployment to the Glassfish server fails because the Cargo plugin has an invalid property.
I have a multi module Maven project with this parent pom:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.skb</groupId>
<artifactId>ProjectMonkeybutler</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>ProjectMonkeybutler</name>
<modules>
<module>ProjectMonkeybutler-ear</module>
<module>ProjectMonkeybutler-web</module>
<module>ProjectMonkeybutler-ejb</module>
</modules>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.primefaces</groupId>
<artifactId>primefaces</artifactId>
<version>4.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>prime-repo</id>
<name>PrimeFaces Maven Repository</name>
<url>http://repository.primefaces.org</url>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
I would like to execute an auto redeployment to my Glassfish server but this is not possible from the parent pom because it is not a war/ear file which will be produced. I integrated the Cargo plugin into the ear project but the deployment is not successful.
My pom.xml for the ear project.

The error after
mvn cargo:deploy
ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.4.7:redeploy (default-cli) on project ProjectMonkeybutler-ear: Execution default-cli of goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.4.7:redeploy failed: Invalid property [context] for deployable type [ear]: org.codehaus.cargo.container.deployable.EAR.setContext([Ljava.lang.String;) -> [Help 1]

Answer 1

The context property is only allowed for WARs.
See the column Deployable Type in the documentation: http://cargo.codehaus.org/Maven2+Plugin+Reference+Guide#Maven2PluginReferenceGuide-prop2
