Well I scaled back the Manifest.mf classpath to just include ".", so
it can find my wrapper class. Then in the wrapper class I add all the
classes I need and set all the properties mentioned then launch using
reflection the James spring main function. That loaded my custom
configuration properties. It's just strange that the same classpath
inside the jar did not work.
I don't know about maven being able to dynamically build the manifest
classpath, but ant can do it. The Manifest.mf that I included in the
first message was automatically generated. Does it matter what order
the jars are in the classpath?
Thanks for the help
