Ok, allow me to rephrase :)  I'm struggling with some proprietary (IBM,
Oracle, etc..) jars that I need to get added to my manifest class path.
I don't want to do that manually obviously. When I add the proprietary
jars to my pom and set their scope to default level, when I try to build
Maven complains that it can't find the proprietary jars in any of the
public repositories. I have added the jars to my local repository and
correctly set the directory structure to match my pom but to no avail. 
So I googled and read that the way round that is to set the scope to
system. But then the jars don't get added to the manifest class path
anymore. So I guess my question is: how do I set it up so that Maven
only looks for proprietary jars on my local repository and doesn't try
to go outside and look for them?

Thanks, Jonck

Adding system scope jars to the manifest class path

[Kogel, Jonck-van-der]

Hi,
I'm trying to get Maven to correctly set my class path entry in the Jar
manifest file. It's all working as it should except for my system scoped
jars, these get excluded from the manifests class path for some reason.
 
I have several system scoped dependencies as such:


com.ibm.db2

db2jcc

1.3.1

system

${maven.home}/repository/com/ibm/db2jcc/1.3.1/db2jcc.jar





But here is what the manifest.mf looks like after Maven runs, as you can
see the DB2 driver is not included:
Manifest-Version: 1.0

Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver

Created-By: Apache Maven

Built-By: kogeljo

Build-Jdk: 1.6.0_05

Main-Class: com.completer.startup.App

Class-Path: lib/spring-beans-2.5.6.jar lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar l

ib/spring-core-2.5.6.jar lib/spring-context-2.5.6.jar lib/aopalliance

-1.0.jar lib/spring-context-support-2.5.6.jar lib/spring-dao-2.0.8.ja

r lib/spring-jdbc-2.5.6.jar lib/spring-tx-2.5.6.jar lib/spring-suppor

t-2.0.8.jar lib/commons-dbcp-1.2.2.jar lib/commons-pool-1.3.jar lib/c

ommons-beanutils-core-1.7.0.jar lib/commons-collections-2.0.jar lib/c

glib-full-2.0.2.jar lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar lib/mail-1.4.jar lib/activat

ion-1.1.jar

 
Currently I have the maven-jar-plugin configured as such:


org.apache.maven.plugins

maven-jar-plugin







com.completer.startup.App

true



lib/









 

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks, Jonck
