Please allow for MANIFEST.MF in exploded
----------------------------------------

                 Key: MWAR-233
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-233
             Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 2.1-beta-1
            Reporter: Benson Margulies


Since the MANIFEST.MF mechanism is taken from the archive plugin, and since 
there's no archiving going on with an exploded webapp, the exploded goal 
doesn't end up populating a manifest.

However, opening up the webapp MANIFEST.MF is a fairly common practice, and 
works just as well unpacked as packed -- if it is there. Thus, the exploded 
goal would be more useful if it could somehow borrow manifest generation even 
when no JAR is being created.
