Maven archetype for glassfish runtime - eclipse

Question

How can I create j2ee project with maven having glassfish 4 as target runtime?
I use eclipse Mars. I follow the 'Dynamic web project' wizard, I select glassfish 4 as 'Target runtime'. When wizard ends I open the project and under the nodes 'Java resources->Libraries' I can see the glassfish system library bundle.
Now I would create the same project using maven. I've searched for an archetype giving me the same library bundle to avoid problem on deploy but I haven't found a definitive one.
The more close appears to be the jersey-quickstart-webapp but when I look the dependencies these are just a bunch respect to glassfish runtime. It's possible? It sounds strange to me, maybe I am making mistakes, am I following the right approach?
Thanks.

The best I could come up with was this:
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=mygroup -DartifactId=myapp -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=webapp-javaee7
Where mygroup and myapp are yours to determine.
Then, in the generated pom.xml, add this property (in the properties element):
<glassfish.version>4.1.1</glassfish.version>
Set the final name in the build element (we're going to refer to it shortly):
<finalName>myapp</finalName>
Then add this plugin to configure the Glassfish embedded runtime, in the plugins element:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.glassfish.embedded</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${glassfish.version}</version>
<configuration>
<autoDelete>true</autoDelete>
<ports>
<http-listener>8080</http-listener>
<https-listener>8181</https-listener>
</ports>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>deploy</id>
<goals>
<goal>deploy</goal>
</goals>
<phase>none</phase>
<configuration>
<app>target/${project.build.finalName}.war</app>
<contextRoot>/${project.build.finalName}</contextRoot>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>admin</id>
<goals>
<goal>admin</goal>
</goals>
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.main.extras</groupId>
<artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
<version>${glassfish.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
I then use mvn clean install embedded-glassfish:run to run the server with a freshly built application.
Hope you like it.
