Deploying an Application with JBoss EAP and Apache Maven

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform provides an extensive Java EE-based application server to which we can deploy and manage our applications. Oftentimes, this can be as simple as deploying a provided WAR or EAR file to our configured server, but when we're creating development environments or otherwise want access to our pre-compiled application files, we can pair JBoss with Apache Maven, which will build our application before JBoss deploys it.
