Rostislav Krasny commented on MSHARED-362:
------------------------------------------
[~rfscholte], why you call this solution redundant? With my patch you need no
configuration to disable the {{Built-By}} manifest property, since it's already
disabled by default. The above configuration examples are for cases when you
want to enable it and optionally with some custom value. The final goal of this
ticket, as I understand it, is not an *empty* manifest file but manifest file
with as less as possible redundant properties. I don't think someone want to
disable properties like {{Class-Path}} or {{Main-Class}} together withÂ
{{Built-By}}, etc. If this is not what you meant the {{EmptyManifest}} will be
confusing.
Also this ticket was originally opened after a question at Stackoverflow about
removing only the {{Built-By}} property. I think other redundant manifest
properties are less wishful to be removable. Also I think much of those who
want to remove the {{Built-By}} would like to keep {{Built-Jdk}} and
{{Created-By}} because it could be useful in some cases, for example for DevOps
and other professional services staff. For example to check what versions of
JDK and Maven were used by Jenkins to build this or that particular JAR.

> not to remove them from the manifest.
