There is a doc page for it: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/examples/default-manifest-file.html Archiver config to achieve the same: https://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/examples/manifestFile.html Also, I think that the "default" part of the parameter name is completely wrong. I view the generated manifest file as the default, not a manifest file included in the source tree. was (Author: afloom): This parameter was added in v2.2 so I wonder what the use case is/was?
