libjetty8 breaking jar from maven-build

[Kjetil Flovild-Midtlie]

BACKGROUND:
In order to use a maven-buildt-jar directly on an ubuntu server,
I need to only change the prefix in my classpath part (manifest) 
and strip out version numbers like this:

<plugin>
 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
 <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>2.4</version>
 <configuration>
  <archive>
    <addMavenDescriptor/>
    <manifest>
      <mainClass>no.docstream.Main</mainClass>
      <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
      <classpathPrefix>/usr/share/java/</classpathPrefix>
      <classpathLayoutType>custom</classpathLayoutType>
      <customClasspathLayout>$${artifact.artifactId}.$${artifact.extension}</customClasspathLayout>
    </manifest>
  </archive>
 </configuration>
</plugin>


HOWEVER if i need to use jetty8 jars it gets painfull ::

In the "maven universe" THERE ISN'T any jars named jetty8-*.jar ,
and some jetty artifacts are also tied to a jar named javax.servlet.jar (eql to servlet-api-3.0.jar)

..so in order so make my jetty jar work i need these lines i a postinst script:

---------------
#!/bin/bash

# jetty8 debian name issue fixxers

# Fix issue 1 
# servlet-api ...
JAVAX=javax.servlet.jar
if [ ! -h $JAVAX ] 
then
  ln -s servlet-api-3.0.jar $JAVAX
  echo -e "\n$JAVAX softlinked.\n"
else
  echo -e "\n$JAVAX link in place already.\n"
fi

# Fix issue 2
# each jetty8-* must be jetty-*
for f in $(ls | grep jetty8)
do 
  NEW_LINK=$(echo $f | sed -e 's/jetty8/jetty/')
  if [ ! -h $NEW_LINK ]
  then
    ln -s $f $NEW_LINK
    echo "$NEW_LINK softlinked."
  else
    echo "$NEW_LINK link in place already."
  fi
done

---------------

Could this script be considered included in libjetty8-java?
