MANIFEST.MF is not used when specified in configuration for a WAR format assembly ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-332 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-332 Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2 Reporter: Julien Simon Priority: Minor Attachments: maven_project.zip When you try to specify a manifestFile for an assembly with *war* format, the manifest file specified is not used. I have attached a zip archive which contains a maven project that reproduces the bug. The assembly generated during the package phase and named myArtifactId-1.0.0-source.war contains a manifest file, but not the one specified in the maven-assembly-plugin configuration in the pom. I tried different versions 2.1 and 2.2-beta-2 with jar and war assembly formats, here's the behavior description: maven-assembly *2.1* + *war* assembly format >>>>>>> good manifest file included maven-assembly *2.2-beta-2* +*war* assembly format >>>>>>> empty manifest file maven-assembly *2.1* + *jar* assembly format >>>>>>> good manifest file included maven-assembly *2.2-beta-2* + *jar* assembly format >>>>>>> good manifest file included The workaround is to use version 2.1 of the maven-assembly-plugin. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
