unable to customize manifest while specifying my own descriptor file --------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-465 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-465 Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-5 Environment: windows Reporter: Elisha Ebenezer I've configured my maven-jar-plugin and maven-assembly-plugin to add 'lib/' prefix to Classpath entries in the manifest file for project-artifact jar. as below <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix> </manifest> </archive> </configuration> I've created my own assembly descriptor to do: 1. Place project artifact in / folder 2. Place all the dependencies (excluding project artifact) in /lib folder <assembly> <id>dist</id> <formats> <format>zip</format> </formats> <fileSets> <fileSet> <directory>${project.build.directory}</directory> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <includes> <include>*.jar</include> </includes> </fileSet> </fileSets> <dependencySets> <dependencySet> <useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact> <outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory> </dependencySet> </dependencySets> </assembly> I expected the following behavior: 1. artifact jar in build directory should have manifest as mentioned in the arhive configuration. 2. artifact jar in assembly jar should also have manifest as mentioned above. BUT, I observed the following: 1. artifact jar in build directory is* having manifest as mentioned in archive config. 2. artifact jar in assembly is *NOT* having the manifest as mentioned. a. classpath has ONLY compile time dependencies and NOT runtime dependencies b. And also, lib prefix is NOT present. I'm not sure whether I've got my descriptor wrong or whether there is some serious bug in the plugin.
