Howdy,
I'm working on a simple issue for Continuum where we want to display version to the user. This information is in the POM and packaged up in the JAR but the problem is it's called:
META-INF/maven/pom.xml
Which presents a problem for this use case because every JAR created with m2 carries that same file within the JAR.
I would like to leave the pom.xml in the JAR as someone might want to enumerate all the POMs at runtime for some reason so I think the POM being there is useful. But I would like to also package up the JAR with:
META-INF/maven/${groupId}-${artifactId}.pom
So that I could deterministically read that POM in to glean any project information that I wanted to use.
I would also like to deploy a simple properties file that contains at least the top-level POM information so that people can use a simple Properties object to glean project information and aren't required to use Maven tools to get this information. I was thinking:
META-INF/maven/${groupId}-${artifactId}.properties
For the small addition in JAR size I think this provides useful information which can be accessed with Maven tools or a simple Properties object.
Thoughts?
