One of my goals with the <ejbjar> task is to be able to support multiple
vendor EJB deployment tools. Therefore, I'd ask you to consider adding a
nested element to <ejbjar>. I can help with that, although I don't know
anything about Jonas. I don't know how well another tool would fit into the
<ejbjar> framework. It was developed with weblogic in mind so there may
need to be some rework to generalize that to other tools.

Let me know.
