**[Steven Coco](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=steevcoco)** commented Hello again... Well, all these comments are going on ( ! ) and I noticed my previous comment here, and I really am more thinking that these should just be turned off by default: if there's any "switch", they should be off by default and something should turn them on. The reason I feel that way is that the POM is the project's descriptor: it is not the specification's descriptor. -- Maven uses the \<description> element as the Specification Title; but this really makes no sense -- What is the plan if the POM element values change??? The description element in particular should really contain something more like "reference implementation xyz...": not something considered a title. Maven really seems to be attempting to find some solution to how to make every Jar in the world a standard optional package; but it just shouldn't. (That's why ClassLoader is not final!!!) These manifest attributes should be rigidly defined and specified by the Jar author and no "defaults" should exist . So I have to clarify my opinion and I feel Maven should just not to be doing any of this to begin with. It's highly un-standard; and these attributes in particular have a clearly defined usage. Anyway, thanks for "your patience" -- appRECIATED... Steven Coco. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
