Exclude class path reference from MANIFEST.MF file

Question

I was getting some WARNings while trying to deploy the EARs in JBoss 7.1.1.

15:41:32,028 WARN  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-6) Class Path entry lib/commons-fileupload-1.0.jar in "/C:/myEar.ear/myWar.war"  does not point to a valid jar for a Class-Path reference.

The issue is clearly explained in this SO thread.

I tried removing the refernces from the MANIFEST.MF file and no more warnings appreared there after.

My question is, is there anything I can try to exclude this class path from MANIFEST.MF without removing that manually?

I was looking for a way, somehow I can do that while taking the mvn build.I'm using maven 3.

Are you looking for a Java program that accepts an EAR as input and produces an EAR without the Class-Path as output? Or are you looking for how to do that in your build? If yes, what build system are you using? Or what are you asking for specifically? — Brett Kail, May 05 '15 at 05:19

That's useful information. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer, so I've added maven tags with the hope someone else knows. — Brett Kail, May 05 '15 at 05:31
Do you have modules entries in your ear configuration of the maven-ear-plugin? — khmarbaise, May 05 '15 at 05:50

Finally got it resolved:

From the maven documentation Generating a manifest classpath I have set the property addClasspath to false. Now there is no warnings in the console.

        <manifest>
          <packageName>blabla</packageName>
                        <addClasspath>false</addClasspath>
                        ....
                        <addExtensions>false</addExtensions>
                        ....
        </manifest>
