Ah ok, I missed it from the first mail.
I agree with Justin, we should add an extra element in the manifest to
recognize
the GeoServer specific manifests, as other GeoServer unrelated jars will
have a manifest
too.

Something like:

<manifestEntries>
 ...
 <jarType>GeoServerExtensions</jarType>
...
</manifestEntries>

Instead of adding a custom section in each and every module pom file we
should try
to just put it in the extensions/community parent poms and check if they
are inherited
from the child pom: this way we should avoid duplication and maintenance

Cheers
Andrea
