You seemed to mistaken Maven version and maven-jar-plugin version. The [maven-jar-plugin already supported that in version 2.4|http://maven.apache.org/plugins-archives/maven-jar-plugin-2.4/jar-mojo.html].

> Currently, the jar plugin performs various manipulations on the manifest file, such as adding some entries and shuffling their order, and lacks functionality such as removing entries (there are separate issues for those).
> The workaround for these should be the ability to use an existing manifest file, whether hand-crafted or generated by other means such as ant, however the jar plugin seems to always modify the manifest just before adding it to the jar, thus preventing any such workaround from working.
> Please add a configuration option that causes the jar plugin to simply use an existing manifest file (e.g. one specified via manifestFile) without modifying it in any way - just copying it as-is into the generated jar file.
