I tried to deploy an ear file to Payara Micro from the command line:
java -jar payara-micro-4.1.2.181.jar --deploy blahblah.ear

This results in this error:
[2018-03-15T21:31:38.555+0100] [] [SEVERE] [] [javax.enterprise.system.core] [tid: _ThreadID=1 _ThreadName=main] [timeMillis: 1521145898555] [levelValue: 1000] Archive type of blahblah.ear was not recognized

First I tried this with an ear that I created by myself, so I thought that the ear might be incorrect somehow.

Next, as a test, I tried this with two random ears from Maven Central. These ears give the same error. I tested with:
ikasan-sample-ftp-ear-1.5.1.ear
car-rental-system-app-3.4.ear

Any suggestions what could be wrong?

Payara Micro is based on web profile. Web profile does not support EAR files therefore Payara Micro does not support EAR files.

Thanks. I got the impression that ear archives were suggested by this line from the --help:
--deploydir <directory-path> if set to a valid directory all ear/war files in this directory will be deployed
I created an issue with the request to improve the help/documentation:
