----------------------------
Assign To: Brett Porter
Resolution: Fixed
> 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
> Assignee: Brett Porter
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 2.0.1
> 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.
