Addition to above description:
## Benefits
This approach allows to add a `<toolArgs>` configuration option, similar to
the `<compilerArgs>` in the Maven Compiler Plugin. Such option allows
developers to use new tool arguments before they are supported by the plugin.
## Behavioural changes
After this refactor, the plugin automatically uses the
`META-INF/MANIFEST.MF` file found in the `classes` directory. Before this
refactor, the plugin used that file only if explicitly specified in the
`<manifestFile>` archive configuration. The previous policy was discussed in
#255. The new policy is a natural consequence of the way that the JAR plugin is
reimplemented, and also more useful in the context of multi-module (in Java
module sense) projects since each module could contain its own `MANIFEST.MF`
file.
