Eclipse – Deploy web applications to JBoss from Eclipse, with dependencies

I have a project developed under Eclipse with JBoss tools installed. When I deploy the application to the Jboss server, some helper jar files which are made available to the project through Maven are not copied inside the WEB-INF/lib folder. Hence, I get a ClassNotFound exception at runtime.

Is there any approach to convince Eclipse (or Maven) to copy the jars into the lib folder at deployment?

EDIT: the pom.xml looks like:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" 
                  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

The artifact myAuxiliaryStuff should be deployed under WEB-INF/lib, under the jboss deployment server.

Using:

• Eclipse: Juno Service Release 1
• Jboss: 7.1.1. final
• m2e 1.3.1.20130219-1424
• eclipse web tools platform 3.4.2.v2013

Later edit: the error reported in jboss' log file looks like:
