manifestEntries ignored when manfestFile is specified -----------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-450 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-450 Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-4 Reporter: Robert Cauble Attachments: example.zip The maven jar plugin supports the behavior of manifestEntries overriding the manifestFile as indicated here: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-manifest.html However, within the maven assembly plugin, if manifestFile is specified, manifestEntries is ignored. Reproduction ============ > unzip example.zip > cd example > mvn package > cd target > unzip example-4.2-plugin.jar > cat META-INF/MANFEST Results: Manifest-Version: 1.0 Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver Created-By: 14.0-b16 (Sun Microsystems Inc.) Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2 Bundle-Name: example Bundle-SymbolicName: example; singleton:=true Bundle-Version: 1.0 Expected: Manifest-Version: 1.0 Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver Created-By: 14.0-b16 (Sun Microsystems Inc.) Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2 Bundle-Name: example Bundle-SymbolicName: example; singleton:=true Bundle-Version: 4.2 The problem appears to be in the class ManifestConfigurationFinalizer: if ( manifestFile != null ) { ... manifest = new Manifest( manifestFileReader ); ... } else { manifest = mavenArchiver.getManifest( project, archiveConfiguration.getManifest() ); } I believe the fix is to change to the following (this already handles merging the manifest file with the configured manifestEntries) manifest = mavenArchiver.getManifest( project, archiveConfiguration ); -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
