[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-46?page=comments#action_74846 ] Kev Jackson commented on MJAR-46: ---------------------------------
Although the plugin site has been updated, http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-manifest.html still lists incorrect information - please fix (docs on main maven site) this as it wasted some time for me tracking the problem down Thanks Kev > Document <manifestFile> element in configuration > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MJAR-46 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-46 > Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Sachin Patel > Assigned To: Dennis Lundberg > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.1 > > > 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. -- 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
