I have experienced a very similar problem and tracked it down. I dont believe it is a result of any particular jar on the ibiblio site but rather the recent addition of extension information to the jar manifest that the latest jar plugin uses. See mail thread entitled 'Jar manifest extension list' for details.
Now whilst I am sure this is an excellent thing for applet packaging, Tomcat at least seems to have a real problem with it (JBoss does not). I could of course raise this on the Tomcat list (and may) but the JDK doco from Sun seems to regard these extension attributes as just for applets so I believe maven should omit them in other cases. One simple approach I have implemented quickly is to add a property together with a test in the plugin which allows the developer to choose to omit the extension info. A better approach I feel would involve maven determining whether the extension info is required or not automatically. Can this somehow be specified though the id / groupId / dependency type mechanism or would it require an applet plugin analogous to the war / ejb plugins?
