Edd Steel commented on MASSEMBLY-332:
-------------------------------------
This restriction
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/usage.html confirms it
is by design) seems so arbitrary.
If it were allowed with war assemblies as well as jar assemblies, skinny wars
become very easy to create -- you just unpack a war, strip out libs and add
this manifest, all in one assembly descriptor.
> MANIFEST.MF is not used when specified in configuration for a WAR format

> Key: MASSEMBLY-332
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-332
> Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2
> Reporter: Julien Simon
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: maven_project.zip
>
>
> When you try to specify a manifestFile for an assembly with *war* format,
> the manifest file specified is not used.
> I have attached a zip archive which contains a maven project that reproduces
> the bug. The assembly generated during the package phase and named
> myArtifactId-1.0.0-source.war contains a manifest file, but not the one
> specified in the maven-assembly-plugin configuration in the pom.
> I tried different versions 2.1 and 2.2-beta-2 with jar and war assembly
> formats, here's the behavior description:
> maven-assembly *2.1* + *war* assembly format >>>>>>> good
> manifest file included
> maven-assembly *2.2-beta-2* +*war* assembly format >>>>>>> empty manifest
> file
> maven-assembly *2.1* + *jar* assembly format >>>>>>> good
> manifest file included
> maven-assembly *2.2-beta-2* + *jar* assembly format >>>>>>> good manifest
> file included
>
> The workaround is to use version 2.1 of the maven-assembly-plugin.
