Martin, Thanks, but the jar-plugin only allows to build a jar from the current project (and set appropriate Manifest entries). I'm looking to modify an existing jar. I could use the dependency plugin to retrieve the jar, and unpack it, then point the jar-plugin to the unpacked dependency and have it repkg the dependency from the unpacked classes, but was hoping for something a little less manual. For multiple dependencies, I would need to write a different execution config for the jar-plugin which becomes quite bloatsome for my pom. I was just hoping for a cleaner/easier approach.
I started looking at the shade plugin with a manifest transformer, but that too becomes individual execution configs.
