It's easy enough to get maven to generate manifest classpath entries:

            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <archive>
                        <manifest>
                            <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                        </manifest>
                    </archive>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>


but I agree with Stuart. Moving library jars to the EAR/lib directory is much more manageable.

Also, the current maven-ear-plugin is pretty good at assembling correct EAR files this way too:

           <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <version>6</version>
                    <generateApplicationXml>true</generateApplicationXml>
                    <defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir>
                    <skinnyWars>true</skinnyWars>
                    <modules>
                        <webModule>
                            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                            <artifactId>...</artifactId>
                            <contextRoot>...</contextRoot>
                        </webModule>
                        <webModule>
                            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                            ...
                        </webModule>
                        <ejbModule>
                            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                            <artifactId>...</artifactId>
                        </ejbModule>
                    </modules>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
