BlakeTNC commented on MSHADE-230:
---------------------------------
I found a solution for replacing the manifest file created by Shade, but this
solution is not optimal. An ideal solution would allow me to -append- my own
lines of text to the existing manifest file created by Shade, while retaining
my own empty lines and line ordering. That way the shaded manifest output could
be retained.
I posted the pom code for my solution here (look for the answer authored by
BlakeTNC):

> Key: MSHADE-230

> Project: Maven Shade Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4.3
> Reporter: BlakeTNC
>
> When a project uses the maven-jar-plugin, it's easy to include a custom (hand
> written) manifest file in the jar, but I can't find a way to do the same
> thing with maven shade. How can I use my own manifest file while using the
> "maven-shade-plugin"?
> Basic details:
> My custom manifest file is located in
> "src/main/resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF". Shade is not including my file,
> instead it is being replaced in the final jar with a default manifest file.
> The reason I need a custom manifest file is to specify some JavaBeans classes
> in my manifest, for a swing component library. Multiple JavaBeans classes
> should be specified in the manifest file in the following format, as
> described here:
> http://www.ewebprogrammer.com/java-beans/module3/javabeans-manifest-file.jsp
> (Note that the order of these lines is important, as well as the empty lines
> between them. The ManifestResourceTransformer could add the lines, but they
> get added out of order and without the empty lines.)
> Name: SomeBean1.class
> Java-Bean: True
> Name: SomeBean2.class
> Java-Bean: True
> Name: SomeBean3.class
> Java-Bean: True
> The POM file for this project is long, so I won't paste the whole thing here.
> However, the current full POM for this project can be seen on github at this
> link:
> https://github.com/LGoodDatePicker/LGoodDatePicker/blob/master/Project/pom.xml
> See the list of (unsuccessful) solutions I have tried (and additional
> details), which are located here.
