Essentially I have a source code module and dependencies in a parent project as a jar. There are several projects which depend on it. For instance it is used in a war project. Another project that depends on it needs to produce am executable jar from the same code and the manifest needs to reference all the dependencies in the classpath with the prefix 'lib'.
