Support separate generation of WAR's manifest.mf
------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-1467
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1467
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: New Feature
  Components: maven-war-plugin  
    Versions: 2.0    
    Reporter: mike perham
 Attachments: WarManifestMojo.java

Attached is a "war:manifest" goal for programmatically generating the WAR's 
manifest.mf.  This is not useful for the WAR generation (since the war plugin 
already supports generating the manifest at the time the war is created) but it 
is useful for use with IDEs that require the MANIFEST.MF in the source tree 
when working with a war project (in my case, IBM's Rational Software Architect).

We configure this for use as follows:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                                <configuration>
                                        
<warSourceDirectory>WebContent</warSourceDirectory>
                                        
<warSourceExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</warSourceExcludes>
                                        <archive>
                                                <manifest>
                                                        
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                                                        
<classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
                                                </manifest>
                                        </archive>
                                </configuration>
            </plugin>

It generates it to ${warSourceDirectory}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF which is where 
RSA expects it to reside.
