Fair enough. We need to add a flag to the maven-archiver, and propagate
that flag out to the maven-jar-plugin. Care to submit a patch? :) We
need to make sure this is in jira somewhere - regardless of whether you
submit a patch - so would you mind? I'm not sure whether it's in there
right now or now, so you might do a cursory search first...

Cheers,

John

| For the specific concerns:
|
| * Someone on the list said it was against his company policy
|
| * Generally speaking, informations such as internal computer names,
|   of the SCM repository, names and roles of all the developpers, etc
|   is not something everyone wishes to include for a release version
|
| * But most importantly for myself, it is annoying in an heavily size
|   constrained environment. When you only have 20k of storage for a given
|   jar file (think J2ME for instance, or even J2SE on special hardware),
|   every byte count :)
