I am trying to append folder before for all classpath entries in manifest file.
As you can see in pom file below, I am using jar plugin to add classpath entries to manifest.
With dependency plugin I am copying dependencies to ${project.build.directory}/${finalName}-lib folder.
I want to keep these dependencies in that folder and change classpath entries to match ${finalName}-lib folder path.
pom:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
<configuration>
<finalName>${jarpluginoutput}</finalName>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>desktop.core.Main</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
<excludes>
<exclude>log4j2-test.properties</exclude>
<exclude>**/.keep</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<includeScope>compile</includeScope>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${finalName}-lib</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
Solution is made by adding <classPathPrefix>
.
