Allow adding classpath prefix to manifest Classpath [patch included]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-551
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-551
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: maven-archiver
Reporter: Kenney Westerhof
Priority: Minor
Attachments: archiver-classpath.patch
Attached patch adds a 'classpathPrefix' property to the ManifestConfiguration
so you can specify a prefix for each classpath element.
Example:
...
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>lib</classpathPrefix>
......
Now you can build an assembly where your dependent jars are not in the same
directory as the
executable jar.
Use case: a program that is distributed as an self-executable jar (no startup
scripts) in the program root
can now have it's dependant jars in a lib/ directory, so there's no confusion
to the user about which
jar to start. It also eliminates the need for platform specific startup scripts.
