Missing support for adding sections to the manifest at build time
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1202
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1202
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: maven-jar-plugin, maven-archiver
Versions: 2.0-beta-4
Environment: Windows XP SP2
Java J2SE 1.4.2_08
Reporter: Mark Russell
Priority: Minor
Attachments: ManifestSectionSupportChanges.zip
Currently it is not possible to add additional sections to the manifest by
configuring the maven-jar-plugin through the configuration section in the
pom.xml. You can only add attributes to the "main" section using the
<manifestEntries> tag..
Example... It is currently not possible to generate the manifest shown here:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver
Created-By: Apache Maven
Built-By: RUSM01
Package: org.com.foo.app
Build-Jdk: 1.4.2_08
Extension-Name: my-app
Specification-Vendor: MyCompany Inc
Implementation-Vendor: MyCompany Inc
Implementation-Title: my-app
Implementation-Version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
Main-Class: org.com.foo.App
mode: development
url: http://maven.apache.org
Name: SampleSectionNumberOne
mode: development
url: http://maven.apache.org
Name: SampleSectionNumberTwo
mode: development
url: http://maven.apache.org
Current workaround: Define the manifest in a seperate file and configure the
maven-jar-plugin to use the file for the manifest.
Attached to this defect is a zip file containing a potential fix. The zip file
contains the changed version of the MavenArchiveConfiguration.java and
MavenArchiver.java files, along with a patch file to update the originals.
Additionally a new class was needed and is found in the ManifestSection.java
file included in the zip. Last, a pom.xml example that shows how the feature
would be used.
