Stephane Nicoll commented on MWAR-34: ------------------------------------- That's interesting. We do have maven 1.0 users reporting the same kind of issue. I'll try to work on it through all plugins. Thanks for the report anyway > Maven Puts Arbitrary Extension Definition in WAR Manifest by Default. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-34 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-34 > Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin > Type: Bug > Environment: Maven version: 2.0.4 > Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] > Reporter: Steven Coco > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: Maven War Manifest Tester.zip > > > I'm using the latest Maven release. When I build my project, the resulting > War file's Manifest contains an Extension-Name attribute along with > Specification and Implementation attributes. The POM contains no mention that > this project is a Java optional package - an "extension" (or an extension of > any other kind); nor any specification or implementation information. What's > more: it is not in fact possible to define such an optional package using a > War archive. > Maven should not do any of this by default. Maven should not include any of > these Manifest asttributes unless they are explicitly declared. It appears > as if there is a misunderstanding on the meaning of these Manifest > attributes. This is the same issue as reported in MJAR-38; and as in that > issue, the name Maven uses for the extension name is the POM's <artifactId> > which is not even a UID. > This is also related to the issue reported in MJAR-39 in that Maven uses the > value of the POM's <description> element as the value for the > Specification-Title attribute; and if this is a multi-line value, Maven winds > up creating an invalid Manifest. > I have marked this issue as a Blocker since there is no way to prevent Maven > from merging these attributes into the final Manifest. -- 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
