Michal Letynski commented on MSHARED-154:
-----------------------------------------
I also have same problem. Any fix date or workaround for this issue ?
> pomPropertiesFile does not actually permit override

> Key: MSHARED-154
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHARED-154
> Project: Maven Shared Components
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-archiver
> Affects Versions: maven-archiver-2.4
> Environment: RHEL 5.4
> Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 13:16:01-0600)
> Java version: 1.6.0_19
> Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: ANSI_X3.4-1968
> OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.18-164.2.1.el5pae" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"

> h4. The What
> My understanding is that the {{pomPropertiesFile}} configuration element will
> allow you to override the default {{pom.properties}} file that is created by
> the maven-archiver when {{addMavenDescriptor}} is {{true}}. I wanted to use
> this feature to include some [Hudson|https://hudson.dev.java.net/] build data
> into the {{pom.properties}} file. We already have utility classes that read
> version information from this file, so it wasn't a leap to add some
> build-server information to this same file.
> From the [Maven Archiver
> Reference|http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/index.html] page:
> {quote}
> | pomPropertiesFile | Use this to override the auto generated pom.properties
> file (only if addMavenDescriptor is set to true) | File | 2.3 |
> {quote}
> h4. My Expectations
> So my assumption is that I can provide a customized pom.properties file that
> will be written/copied to the {{META-INF/maven/" + ${pom.groupId} + "/" +
> ${pom.artifactId} + "/pom.properties}} file.
> h4. The Actual Result
> The File I pass to the {{pomPropertiesFile}} element is actually overwritten
> with the default pom.properties file format. One could say it is overriding
> my override. Maybe I am misunderstanding this configuration element
> altogether, I can't see how it can possibly be helpful the way that it is
> behaving right now...
> h4. Background Information
> I am witnessing this behaviour with the apache war plugin:
> {code:xml|title=Snippet of my pom.xml}
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>2.1-beta-1</version>
> <configuration>
> <archive>
> <addMavenDescriptor>true</addMavenDescriptor>
>
> <pomPropertiesFile>configurations/custom-pom.properties</pomPropertiesFile>
> </archive>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
> {code}
> And here is my customized properties file that I want used to replace the
> default pom.properties content:
> {code:java|title=Snippet of my custom-pom.properties override file}
> version=$\{pom.version\}
> groupId=$\{pom.groupId\}
> artifactId=$\{pom.artifactId\}
> buildTag=${BUILD_TAG}
> buildNumber=${BUILD_NUMBER}
> buildId=${BUILD_ID}
> {code}
> I see from my Maven output that {{maven-war-plugin-2.1-beta-1}} uses
> {{maven-archiver-2.4}}:
> {code:title=Maven output}
> ...

> [MavenArchiver#createArchive(...)|http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/xref/org/apache/maven/archiver/MavenArchiver.html#493]
> I notice that the {{createArchive(...)}} method ALWAYS writes the
> standard/default [pom.properties
> contents|http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/index.html#pom-properties-content]
> to the supplied file. That provides no benefit.
> If I can offer a suggestion:
> # get the pomPropertiesFile configuration property.
> #* if the property is not null and the property maps to an existing file
> #*# {{archiver.addFile( pomPropertiesFile, "META-INF/maven/" + groupId + "/"
> + artifactId + "/pom.properties" );}}
> #* else the file property was null
> #*# Create the temporary maven-archiver folder
> #*# Create a ref to the maven-archiver/pom.properties file
> #*# Call PomPropertiesUtil#createPomProperties
