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.

[Eric B]

Thanks Maxim.  Will take a look at how you are using the assembly.xml to
accomplish that.

Much appreciated.

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.

Subject: Is there a plugin that allows me to modify existing jar manifest?

I'm looking to modify an existing third-party JAR's Manifest file in my
maven build.  Specifically, I have an Applet which has a dependency on
these third party jars, and need to add some entries/permissions to the
Manifest before I sign them for my Applet to use.

I'm looking to add the following:

   all-permissions

true
MyApp

I realize that these aren't particularly secure parameters, but right now
I'm just trying to see what it will take to get this working.

Is there a plugin that will allow me to modify an existing jar?  I'm using
the dependency plugin to retrieve them from Maven, but once I have them
locally, I'm not sure what to use to update the MANIFEST.  Is this
something the assembly plugin can do easily?  I've looked at the assmbly
