jira-importer opened a new issue, #182: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-war-plugin/issues/182
**[Jakub Bochenski](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=jbochenski)** opened **[MWAR-353](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-353?redirect=false)** and commented If I have no manifest files I don't get anything in the exploded location. If I put a `MANIFEST.MF` under webapp folder's `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF` I just get the static file. If I set `archive/manifestFile` to point at some file I just get the static file. Workaround: change ```xml <goals> <goal>exploded</goal> </goals> ``` to ```xml <goals> <goal>manifest</goal> <goal>exploded</goal> </goals> ``` and add the generated files to SCM ignore. --- **Affects:** 2.6 **Issue Links:** - [MWAR-418](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-418) Manifest not written to exploded location (_**"is duplicated by"**_) - [MWAR-379](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-379) manifest goal violates general Maven principle and creates file into src/main/.. - [MWAR-167](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-167) Final manifest not written to exploded location - [MWAR-197](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-197) war:manifest does not add "manifestEntries" to generated manifest 3 votes, 4 watchers -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
