I had a need to do this as well.
In maven.xml, I added: <project xmlns:ant="jelly:ant" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:deploy="deploy">
<pregoal name="jar:jar">
<ant:manifest file="MANIFEST.MF">
<ant:attribute name="Class-Path" value="j2ee-1.4.1_02.jar jdom-b9.jar jhall-1.1.3.jar js-1.5R4-RC3.jar junit-3.8.1.jar profiler-1.0.jar"/>
</ant:manifest>
</pregoal>
</project>
And then in project.properties, one adds maven.jar.manifest=MANIFEST.MF
SO it does merge...
I just spent some time changing the plugin to add to the manifest using properties.
Example snippet below:
maven.jar.manifest.attributes.list = GUIApp-Conf,GUIApp-Instrument,GUIApp-Log
maven.jar.manifest.attribute.GUIApp-Conf = org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.xconf
maven.jar.manifest.attribute.GUIApp-Instrument = org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.instruments
maven.jar.manifest.attribute.GUIApp-Log = org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.xlog
maven.jar.manifest.groups.list = DemoAppConstants,ValidateQuitApplication maven.jar.manifest.DemoAppConstants.name=org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoAppConstants.class maven.jar.manifest.DemoAppConstants.attributes.list=Description,Foo maven.jar.manifest.DemoAppConstants.attribute.Description=It's ok maven.jar.manifest.DemoAppConstants.attribute.Foo=bar
maven.jar.manifest.ValidateQuitApplication.name=org/d_haven/demoapp/screens/ValidateQuitApplication.class maven.jar.manifest.ValidateQuitApplication.attributes.list=Description maven.jar.manifest.ValidateQuitApplication.attribute.Description=We are rockin'
This will add to the Maven generated Manifest like this:
.... skip maven generated content .... GUIApp-Conf: org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.xconf GUIApp-Instrument: org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.instruments GUIApp-Log: org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.xlog
Name: org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoAppConstants.class Description: It's ok Foo: bar
Name: org/d_haven/demoapp/screens/ValidateQuitApplication.class Description: We are rockin'
It seems to work pretty decently, and I am getting ready to send a patch in.
