Figured it out: you can specify manifest entry and configure class path
at the same time. The result will be additive:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifestEntries>
<Class-Path>config/ </Class-Path>
</manifestEntries>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
<mainClass>com.barclaysglobal.asgintl.cmdlnfrmwrk.CommandProcessor</main
Class>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Produces
Class-Path: config/ lib/commons-lang-2.3.jar lib/log4j-1.2..... Etc.
which is exaclty what I need.
