> allow sources jar to contain Maven descriptor
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSOURCES-81
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSOURCES-81
> Project: Maven Source Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Peter lynch
> Assignee: Karl Heinz Marbaise
> Fix For: 3.0.0
>
>
> The source:jar mojo explicitly prevents the Maven descriptor from being added
> to the produced -sources.jar file.
> https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-source-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/source/AbstractSourceJarMojo.java#L292-292
> I could not find an explanation or technical reason why this is done.
> Adding the maven descriptor to the source jar can help expose valuable
> information about the build that produced it.
> Expected:
> - allow the archiver used to create the source jar to respect the plexus
> archiver configuration if it is configured to include the Maven descriptor.
> - preserve the default behaviour of not including the Maven descriptor, for
> (unknown) backwards compatibility reasons only
