Dennis Lundberg commented on MACR-3:
------------------------------------
After following the link there is a menu option called "Set Up The Classpath"
which takes you to
http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/examples/classpath.html
On that page there is a section called "Make The Jar Executable" which explains
how to specify a Main-Class.
These docs (at http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/) are shared by
all archiving plugins, and includes functionality that is common for all of
them.
If there is more specific documentation that applies only to a specific plugin,
then it should be located in that plugin. I.e. the suggestion to instruct user
to add manifest and Main-Class because the JEE spec requires it, should be in
on the ACR Plugin site.
> Maven site should has an example with adding Main Class

> Key: MACR-3
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MACR-3
> Project: Maven ACR Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Gustavo Orair
>
> Maven ACR plugin should confirm if the resulting Manifest contain a setting
> for Main-Class, because The Java EE spec requires that app clients specify
> the main class
> (http://www.java.net/forum/topic/glassfish/glassfish/problems-using-java-web-start-application-client-libraries-not-found).
> If Manifest does not contain Main-Class a warning should be emitted.
> Also, It would be very valuable if some examples specifying Main-Class are
> added to the site http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-acr-plugin/.
> In actual configuration, users tend to create application clients without
> Main-Class and may get strange errors while trying to launch the application
> client. One example of these errors, may be accessed in:
> http://www.java.net/forum/topic/glassfish/glassfish/problems-using-java-web-start-application-client-libraries-not-found
