maven-jar-plugin doesn't accept <manfiestFile> element in configuration
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2156
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2156
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
Versions: 2.0.2
Reporter: Sachin Patel
Priority: Blocker
The maven-jar-plugin does not accept the manfiestFile element in the
configuration as advertised. The error reported is...
[INFO] Failed to configure plugin parameters for:
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.1-SNAPSHOT
Cause: Cannot find setter nor field in
org.apache.maven.archiver.ManifestConfiguration for 'manifestFile'
Need to mark this as a blocker as their is no way to merge an existing MANFIEST
that is needed to build an eclipse-plugin. The MANIFEST entries cannot be
respecified in the plugin configuration because this would break running the
plugin in a eclipse runtime-workbench. Keeping the manifest entires in the POM
and in the MANIFEST file synchronized is too much maintainance. Need to
support merging an existing manifest file.
