Description:
One nice feature for the war plugin would be to make it
possible to specify that a dependency should be included in the manifest classpath of the war. Is is this something that is considered?

The jelly-code is in the ejb-plugin, so I suppose it would be pretty
easy to implement (I'd be happy to write a patch).

The reason is that when you have an ejb module and one or many
web-modules in a J2EE-project (as we have) you often have common
dependencies between these modules. Let's say you need commons-logging
in all modules then you'd probably want to include
commons-logging-x.x.x.jar in the EAR-file, and reference it from all
other modules as manifest classpath entries.

In the project.xml of a webapplication you would thus have:

<!-- This is a dependency shared by many modules -->
<dependency>
   <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
   <artifactId>commons-logging</groupId>
   <version>1.0.3</version>
   <properties>
      <war.manifest.classpath>true</war.manifest.classpath>
   </properties>
</dependency>
<!-- This is a webapp dependency only -->
<dependency>
   <groupId>webwork</groupId>
   <artifactId>webwork</artifactId>
   <version>1.3</version>
   <properties>
     <war.bundle>true</war.bundle>
   </properties>
</dependency>
