Hi,
Are you sure that documentation wasn't talking about applets? I've run
executable jars with Class-Path manifest entries referencing the filesystem
many times.
I looked it up again:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/java.html
goto -jar option, there it says
"When you use this option [Main-Class:classname], the JAR file is the
source of all user classes, and other user class path settings are ignored."
I was trying to extend the classpath from outside the jar (-cp xxx)
and this is what does not work according to the specs.
I did not try to extend the classpath in the manifest inside the jar.
Is this possible at all when using the assembly plugin the create the
classpath entry in the manifest?
thanks for you info!

I've configured the maven-jar-plugin to generate a manifest and add the
dependencies to its classpath (and create a mainclass entry), but cannot
figure out how to configure it to add my config directory (containing the
config files) to the classpath.
Is it possible to add a directory to the classpath of a Maven-generated
Manifest?
Hi,
I had exactly the same problem. This is not a maven but a (sun?) Java
problem:
Executable jars use a classloader that can only load resources/classes
from other jars and not from the file system. I found this documented
somewhere under java.sun.com.
So I had to stop using executable jars :-(
best regards
Bernd
