title: Add dependency jar entries to jar index (/META-INF/INDEX.LIST)
body: <p>While developing an applet, I created a maven project with .jar packaging and different .jar dependencies. Now I want to add an archive index (<em>/META-INF/INDEX.LIST</em>) to my project's jar that contains not only the entries for this jar but <strong>also the entries of all dependency jar's</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>With the jar command line tool I'd achieve it with</p>
  
  <p><em>> jar i myproject.jar dependency1.jar dependency2.jar ...</em></p>
  
  <p>Using the maven archive index flag of the maven-jar-plugin only the entries for <em>myproject.jar</em> occur in the archive index, not so the entries of the dependency jars:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  ...
    &lt;plugin&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-jar-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;configuration&gt;
        &lt;archive&gt;
          &lt;index&gt;true&lt;/index&gt;
        &lt;/archive&gt;
      &lt;/configuration&gt;
    &lt;/plugin&gt;
    ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a possibility to include the entries of dependencies into the index file with maven?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for any hints...</p>
