------------------------------------
Summary: Add option to use unmodified existing manifest file
Key: MJAR-195
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAR-195
Project: Maven JAR Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.6
Reporter: Amichai Rothman
Currently, the jar plugin performs various manipulations on the manifest file,
such as adding some entries and shuffling their order, and lacks functionality
such as removing entries (there are separate issues for those).
The workaround for these should be the ability to use an existing manifest
file, whether hand-crafted or generated by other means such as ant, however the
jar plugin seems to always modify the manifest just before adding it to the
jar, thus preventing any such workaround from working.
Please add a configuration option that causes the jar plugin to simply use an
existing manifest file (e.g. one specified via manifestFile) without modifying
it in any way - just copying it as-is into the generated jar file.
