Thanks so much :)
The Antrun worked like a charm. Turns out the manifest file was already
in the right place but Maven decides to overwrite it with its own during
packaging. So I had to update the war's manifest after Maven packaging
using Ant.
Thanks again! :)

Re: [M2] Modifying war plugin
Is there a particular reason you cannot simply use Antrun to copy the
Manifest.mf file to the proper place during packaging etc?
If you already talked about this, I might have missed it in a previous
thread etc.
