Thanks for the quick response.  I tried it, but I couldn't figure out how to:
1. Get my .class files in there either.
2. Set up the manifest.

Here a sample conf we use that tell the plugin to:

1: Put all class files in one jar (including classes from dependencies)
2: Set the main class in the manifest

It's all there if you RTFM ;-)

hth,
