Peter lynch commented on MJAVADOC-431:
--------------------------------------
[~michael-o] Thanks for the MSHARED ticket link - I am fully aware what
pom.properties contains. A missing classifier in there does not matter for this
use case. The pom.properties still contains valuable information. If ever it
changes to include classifier, all the better.
The use case I have stated in earlier comments is not adding a requirement that
the artifact file name must match or that pom.properties contain all parts of
the coordinate system ( although would be nice ). Only that the location of the
maven generated archiver configuration is in a well known location inside the
produced jar and that there is no other way to insert same information into a
javadoc jar without changing the sha1 of the produced artifact or heavily
modifying a build or introducing a complex change to the javadoc plugin.
> Allow Javadoc Jar to contain Maven descriptor
> ---------------------------------------------

> Key: MJAVADOC-431
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-431
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.10.3
> Reporter: Peter lynch
> Assignee: Michael Osipov
> Fix For: 2.10.4
>
>
> The javadoc:jar mojo explicitly prevents the Maven descriptor from being
> added to the produced javadoc.jar file.
> https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-javadoc-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/javadoc/JavadocJar.java#L299-299
> I could not find an explanation or technical reason why this is done.
> Adding the maven descriptor to the javadoc jar can help expose valuable
> information about the build that produced it and should be at the discretion
> of the build process.
> Expected:
> - allow the archiver used to create the javadoc 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
