You are building an Eclipse plugin? I think you'll want to use the
upcoming Maven2 OSGi plugin (it is being developed externally to this
project) for that, if I understand correctly.

You probably can't do what you need to "out of the box" just yet. The
assembly plugin can create a jar from dependencies, but has no way to
modify the resulting manifest. That could certainly be added, however.

I'm not really familiar with how Eclipse does it's classloading, but
there's a chance that that is not compatible with the Maven
classloader that is created to manage plugins.

It may be a good idea to work with the MevenIDE team
(http://mevenide.codehaus.org) as well as the Maven team if you are
intending to build a Maven2 plugin for Eclipse. They have some
experience in this area building a plugin for Maven1, and we're really
interested to see how this progresses.

Cheers,
Brett
