Rostislav Krasny commented on MSHARED-362:
------------------------------------------
Hi. Please consider the attached [^MSHARED-362-01.patch]
It introduces following changes:
# The {{Built-By}} manifest property is now disabled by default
# The {{Built-By}} manifest property could be enabled again with the previous
behavior (e.g. {{user.name}}) by following configuration of the maven-jar-plugin
{code:java}
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addBuiltBy>true</addBuiltBy>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>{code}
# Value of the {{Built-By}} manifest property could be customized if enabled
by following {{builtByName}} new configuration property:
{code:java}
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addBuiltBy>true</addBuiltBy>
<builtByName>build machine name</builtByName>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>{code}
Rationale:
# Currently the {{Built-By}} manifest property usually is different on
different machines and this prevents repeating the build with the same internal
content of JAR files.
# Currently the {{Built-By}} manifest property has no really useful
information. I think a user may want to put a more useful information into that
property, for example the build machine name.
# Using the {{user.name}} in the {{Build-By}} manifest property could be
considered as privacy issue.
Rest of the manifest properties discussed in this Jira ticket seems less
problematic to me. Let's start fixing the main issue with the {{Built-By}}
manifest property and continue discussion of the rest later.

> As described in the StackOverflow question at

> not to remove them from the manifest.
