3.3. Generate MANIFEST.MF entries using Maven

Procedure 3.3. Generate a MANIFEST.MF file containing module dependencies

1. Add Configuration

   Add the following configuration to the packaging plug-in configuration in the project's pom.xml file.

   <configuration>
      <archive>
         <manifestEntries>
            <Dependencies></Dependencies>
         </manifestEntries>
      </archive>
   </configuration>

2. List Dependencies

   Add the list of the module dependencies in the <Dependencies> element. Use the same format that is used when adding the dependencies to the MANIFEST.MF. Refer to Section 3.2, “Add an Explicit Module Dependency to a Deployment” for details about that format.

   <Dependencies>org.javassist, org.apache.velocity</Dependencies>

3. Build the Project

   Build the project using the Maven assembly goal.

   [Localhost ]$ mvn assembly:assembly
