Trouble setting Classpath for Cpsuite with Maven

Question

Using Maven I am creating a jar-with-dependencies for a project that uses ClasspathSuite to create a JUnit test suite. When running the jar from the command line I am running into an issue where the project classpath isn't being supplied like it would be in Eclipse.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/<dir>/BaseCategoryRunner

I need the project classpath so that ClasspathSuite can scan my files to build a junit class suite. I have been searching a number of ways to allow maven to include the classpath in my pom such as <additionalClasspathElements> or <Class-Path> but I cannot get the value to appear in the system property java.class.path. At this point I am unsure if I am just walking down a rabbit hole that isn't going to work.

Is it possible to have a classpath in my jar's manifest that will point to one of the jar's directory? In this case ./com/....
How can I have this classpath referenced so that maven will include it when the jar is executed?
