Create EAR with Maven and Eclipse

I have a web-application(TestWeb) and multiple java dependency projects(TestCommon,TestModule).
I was able to build all 3 projects using maven.It has created war file and jar file out of it.
I need to create .ear file using maven. How can I create ear and build them?

alter pom file for heroku deployment

I'm trying to deploy an Eclipse jee dynamic web app to heroku. I need to modify the pom file but I'm not sure how.

Maven appears to be ignoring source and target in webapp

I'm getting "Generated servlet error:|try-with-resources is not supported in -source 1.5". 1.5 is maven's default according to another question on the topic, but I thought I had fixed that in my pom.xml -

Other packages in the project work fine with 1.7, as seen in the parent pom -

Ultimately, I think the question is probably "what have I done wrong that maven is ignoring the source and target specifications?" There are similar questions out there, but the ones I've seen are either not solved or suggest things that exist in my pom.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jetty is using 1.5 source and target args by default for JSP compilation. See Jetty embedded and JSP compilation to 1.7? for pointers and info on switching Jetty to use 1.7

My problem is that if I do an mvn install in abc-datasource the dependency versions are pulled from the parent pom properties as expected. However if I do mvn install from abc-window that references abc-datasource then the versions are not resolved, I get:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project abc-window: Could not resolve dependencies for project hu.abc.ringcore:abc-window:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies for [junit:junit:jar:4.10 (test), hu.abc.ringcore:abc-datasource:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT (compile)]: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:jar:${commons-lang3.version}: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:pom:${commons-lang3.version} from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in path at index 70: http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/commons/commons-lang3/${commons-lang3.version}/commons-lang3-${commons-lang3.version}.pom
Both project have the same parent pom, so why doesn't it work..?

Use dependencyManagment in parent pom
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>${junit.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
<version>${commons-lang3.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
add all versions in parent pom, and use dependencies without version in children
EDIT
/pom.xml <-parent pom
/abc-window/pom.xml <-child module
/abc-datasource/pom.xml <-child module
and parent pom should contains
<project
...
<properties>
...
</properties>
<modules>
<module>abc-datasource</module>
<module>abc-window</module>
</modules>
<build>
<pluginManagment>
...
</pluginManagment>
</build>
<dependencyManagment>
...
</dependencyManagment>
</project>

The parent in abc-window is listed as:
<parent>
<relativePath>../foobar-common/pom.xml</relativePath>
<groupId>hu.abc.ringcore</groupId>
<artifactId>foobar-common</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</parent>
The parent in abc-datasource is listed as:
<parent>
<relativePath>../foobar-common/pom.xml</relativePath>
<groupId>hu.ratesoft.ringcore</groupId>
<artifactId>foobar-common</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</parent>
So, they do not have the same groupId.
