manifest problem Please help

[I am Who i am]

Hi All

I'm using maven -2.0.7 and have jar configuration has follows

                <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>2.2</version>
                                        <configuration>
                                                <archive>

<manifestFile>${basedir}/ejbModule/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile>
                                                </archive>
                                        </configuration>
                </plugin>


and my MANIFEST.MF @   ejbModule/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF has some custom entry,
but this file never makes into jar file, i've only the regular maven created
MANIFEST.MF only.
i also tried to with <manifestEntries>, <addClasspath> nothing worked for
me.

I'm sure i'm doing something wrong, can anyone please give some working
sample for these option

Your help is very much appreciated
