How do you generate module dependencies in MANIFEST.MF for JBoss AS 7 with maven?

Question

In JBoss AS 7, a Web application that depends on libraries contained in the AS, must declare those dependencies in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF like this:

Dependencies:          


        

Answer 1

Those dependencies are declared by names which maven artifacts don't have any mappings to. You probably could keep groupId in sync with jboss module names but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. And I still can't think of any automated solution.

But there is a place where you can manage the configuration by hand, as described in one of the sources you provided in your question:

   
       ...
       
         
           org.apache.maven.plugins
           maven-war-plugin
           
              
                 
                    org.slf4j
                   
              
           
            
       
    

I hope someone comes up with a plugin to make it less cumbersome.
