Defining Java EE module dependencies

For non-Maven Java™ EE projects, the Deployment Assembly property page is used to define dependencies to other projects, libraries, and utilities. The page is also used to describe the assembly of the archive at run time, including assembling modules within an EAR. However, Maven projects define dependencies within the pom.xml file and generate and derive dependencies that are used by the project and publishing mechanisms. All dependencies must be defined within the pom.xml file. Dependencies can be defined in source under the <dependencies> tag or on the POM editor dependencies tab.
