Re: MANIFEST.MF generation outside of jar:jar plugin
Hi.
What I'm looking for is a way to generate or manipulate the MANIFEST.MF
such that it contains values from the POM, like version, etc. I can do
this via the 'archive' element in the 'configuration' of the jar plugin,
but this doesn't leave an artifact for use outside of the JAR, such as
being used within the Eclipse IDE's PDE.
You could try using Maven's resource filtering. Place a skeleton
manifest in your resource directory. Place in that any variables you
want to reference: ${project.version} I believe is one. Then enable
filtering on your resource directory, with the proper character encoding
to be used. My thought is that Maven might filter your manifest and
deposit it into the target/classes directory.
You might also be able to do this filtering and then make some assembly
that grabs resources which you filter so that only the manifest is
included; and Maven filters and deposits the manifest in some assembly
output directory.
Not the best answers, but maybe you'll find something out.
Good luck.
Steev Coco.

RE: MANIFEST.MF generation outside of jar:jar plugin
war:manifest will generate a standalone MANIFEST.MF in
warSourceDirectory/META-INF. Despite the war association it does not
require a war project; you can use it anywhere (for ejb/mdb projects for
instance). Example:
plugin
artifactIdmaven-war-plugin/artifactId
configuration
warSourceDirectoryWebContent/warSourceDirectory
archive
manifest
addClasspathtrue/addClasspath
classpathPrefixlib//classpathPrefix
/manifest
/archive
/configuration
executions
execution
phasepackage/phase
goals
goalmanifest/goal
/goals
inheritedtrue/inherited
/execution
/executions
/plugin
This will generate the manifest in WebContent/META-INF every time the
package phase is executed as part of the build. The goal probably
should move to the jar plugin.

MANIFEST.MF generation outside of jar:jar plugin
Is there any currently available mechanism to generate a MANIFEST.MF file outside of the jar:jar goal? What I'm looking for is a way to generate or manipulate the MANIFEST.MF such that it contains values from the POM, like version, etc. I can do this via the 'archive' element in the 'configuration' of the jar plugin, but this doesn't leave an artifact for use outside of the JAR, such as being used within the Eclipse IDE's PDE. What would be great is if the eclipse:eclipse plugin could generate the MANIFEST.MF along with the other IDE artifacts. I'm open to any thoughts or suggestions. My major requirement is that I want to enable use of the Eclipse PDE, but maintain all of the defining information in the POM.
