Maven Puts Arbitrary Extension Definition in JAR Manifest by Default.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MJAR-38
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-38
Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin
Type: Bug
Versions: 2.0
Environment: Maven version: 2.0.4
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Reporter: Steven Coco
Attachments: Jar Extension-Name Tester.zip
I'm using the latest Maven release. When I build my project, the resulting
Jar file's manifest contains an Extension-Name attribute along with
Specification and Implementation attributes. The POM contains no mention that
this project is a Java optional package -- an "extension" (or an extension of
any other kind).
I don't know why Maven is doing that.
If Maven is doing this by default for some reason, it absolutely shouldn't.
Maven should not identify my Jar as an optional package unless I explicitly
say so. Jars are only extensions if explicitly created as such.
The name it uses for the extension name is the POM's <artifactId>. That's
not even a UID!
