Add integrated support to debug the application within eclipse when it's deployed on JBoss AS

Can you be more specific? What kind of support do you expect from a maven project?

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/debugging.html That's an approach to debug testng unit tests within maven

Since I do all my debugging from within the IDE (tests + server), it never crossed my mind I would need that :-) So you're expecting a profile where a debugging command would be passed to a cargo configuration? And you would launch cargo from a maven command in the IDE or directly via command line? Or maybe your use case is different, in that case, could you describe it?

Exactly, this is a generic way of testing using only maven. How can I contribute to your archetype?

You can checkout the sources from http://open-archetypes.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ Make a patch and attach it here, I'll apply it.

Works for me, thanks a lot
