Description:
I would like to have Class-Path section of my WAR manifest pointing to dependent JARS - because my WAR is embedded in EAR and I don't want to duplicate jars by copying them into WEB-INF/lib.

I just want dependent jars to exist in root directory of EAR module so WAR can make use of them.

But it is impossible to set Class-Path for WAR.

I patched WAR plugin and inserted the following code snippet:

    <j:forEach var="dep" items="${pom.dependencies}">
      <j:if test="${dep.getProperty('war.manifest.classpath')=='true'}">
        <j:set var="maven.war.manifest.classpath" value="${maven.war.manifest.classpath} ${dep.artifact}"/>
      </j:if>
    </j:forEach>

      <ant:manifest>
        ...
        <ant:attribute name="Class-Path" value="${maven.war.manifest.classpath}"/>


So I iterate over dependencies and include in war.manifest.classpath those, who have property war.manifest.classpath set to true.

I want to make request to get rid of manual patching of WAR plugin because I think it is unlikely to be good way of solving such problems.
