Manifest classpath filter in maven-jar-plugin

Question

Can I exclude some artifacts from classpath that generates by <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> option?

For example, I have some dependencies:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.group1</groupId>
  <artifactId>lib11</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.group1</groupId>
  <artifactId>lib12</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.group2</groupId>
  <artifactId>lib21</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

At now, my classpath entry in MANIFEST.MF is:

Class-Path: lib/lib11.jar lib/lib12.jar lib/lib21.jar

I want exclude some groupIds of my dependencies list and take entry in this form:

Class-Path: lib/lib21.jar

How I can do it?

Answer 1

When adding a tag scope with a value provided to unnecessary dependencies, they disappear from classpath, as required. For an example from the question:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.group1</groupId>
  <artifactId>lib11</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.group1</groupId>
  <artifactId>lib12</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
