Do you have a pre-existing MANIFEST.MF in your webapp source? The first example doesn't look like it was generated by Maven 2; you should see a Plexus Archiver entry. If you remove the custom manifest entry, does the Class-Path entry appear?

I've declared a entry like this in my POM: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> <!-- <version>2.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> --> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> </manifest> <manifestEntries> <buildNumber>${buildNumber}</buildNumber> </manifestEntries> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> I've also declared two dependencies with scope provided (so that they are loaded from my ear - and not included in the war). I then run the clean package goals if I go to target/${artifactId}-${version}/META-INF (the "exploded" directory) MANIFEST.MF contains this: Manifest-Version: 1.0 Created-By: Apache Maven Built-By: AB62939 Build-Jdk: 1.5.0_07 Class-Path: spring-web-1.2.8.jar spring-webmvc-1.2.8.jar But if I look into the target/artifact.war *file* it contains: Manifest-Version: 1.0 Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver Created-By: Apache Maven Built-By: AB62939 Build-Jdk: 1.5.0_07 Extension-Name: dnbnorapi-war Specification-Title: Display statistics and send transactions to Felix via web-gui Implementation-Title: dnbnorapi-war Implementation-Version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT buildNumber: 44 Notice the missing classpath entry. Thus starting the war fails due to the missing classpath. -- David J. M.
