----------------------------------------------
Summary: Describe archive format in active voice
Key: MSHARED-1451
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-1451
Project: Maven Shared Components
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: maven-archiver
Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
The introduction page says, "The Maven Archiver is mainly used by plugins to
handle packaging." but i doesn't seem to ever say what the format of an archive
*is*. Is it a JAR? a zip? .tar.gz? something else? Any of the above dependiing
on parameters?
We should say something like, "Plugins use the Maven archiver to package
compiled .class files into a JAR file." Of course, that language might not be
correct since I don't know what format we use.
