The easiest way so far I found is to add a patch for pom.xml with
something like:
<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
   <configuration>
     <archive>
       <manifest>
         <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
         <classpathLayoutType>custom</classpathLayoutType>
         <customClasspathLayout>/usr/share/java/$${artifact.artifactId}.$${artifact.extension}</customClasspathLayout>
         <!--mainClass>in case there is one</mainClass-->
       </manifest>
     </archive>
   </configuration>
 </plugin>
