Looks like that dependency is mapped from maven to libraries.ent with this config | <dependency> | <groupId>org.jboss.jbossas</groupId> | <artifactId>jboss-server-manager</artifactId> | <mapping> | <componentId>jboss.server.manager</componentId> | </mapping> | </dependency> | If you want to add additional jars to the jboss.server.manager.classpath you would just have to map those dependencies to the same componentId. The maven plugin that generates libraries.ent doesn't understand maven transitive dependencies, so it won't automatically figure those out. By default it will just translate groupId to componentId so dependencies with the same groupId (that are not mapped to a different componentId) are combined into one component with the associated properties in libraries.ent.
