Put the following in the <build> section of your pom:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>com.acme.MainClass</mainClass>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<addExtensions>true</addExtensions>
<classpathPrefix>./lib/</classpathPrefix>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
the <classpathPrefix> depends where You put Your dependend jars relative
to the created jar file.

Subject: [M2] jar plugin and the jar manifest
Hello there,
I am generating my jars perfectly using maven-jar-plugin. I see it
actually creates a minifest file and includes it in the jar file which
is perfect. However, I need this jar to be executable and the plugin
does not add the classpath entries to the manifest. How can I have this
plugin to add the classpath to the manifest? I also need to add the main
class entry in the manifest but this one has to be specified in the pom
somehow.
Reading through the list I see there is a way to add manifest entries in
the configuration of the jar plugin however, I was unable to find an
example of a pom doing this. I am assuming it is something like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<manifestEntries>
<manifestEntry></manifestEntry>
</manifestEntries>
</configuration>
</plugin>
But then how can I speciefy the key/value pair? should I go like:
<manifestEntry>
<key>...</key>
<value>...</value>
</manifestEntry>
If it is like this, There should be a variable somewhere that refers to
the runtime classpath for the project; how is it called??
Thanks a lot.
