Description

The assembly plugin supports outputting all dependencies in a repository layout.
The jar plugin should support adding the classpath manifest entry based on the repository layout.
The combination of the two makes it easy to write a script to run the app: "java -jar org/domain/project/projectApp.jar" at the base of the repository layout.

Example of a Class-Path entry:
ClassPath: org/springframework/spring-core/2.0/spring-core-2.0.jar;org/drools/drools-core/4.0/drools-core-4.0.jar;org/domain/project/projectApp.jar
