Proper way to add classpath to manifest in a maven 3.x project using maven-assembly-plugin with a custom assembly?

This is not a good use of the assembly plugin. Java doesn't do jars-in-jars. You can use the maven-jar-plugin's configuration options to add a classpath to the manifest of your main jar, and then use the assembly plugin to collect your dependencies and drop then next to your main jar in a zip or tarball.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
