--------------------------------
Summary: provide property to override Built-By attribute in the
manifest
Key: MJAR-155
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-155
Project: Maven 2.x JAR Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Jae Gangemi
Priority: Minor
i would like to override the Built-By attribute that gets injected into my
manifest when the jar is packaged.
according to this page:
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/jar/properties.html
the user.name property is used as a default value but i am unable to override
that property anywhere in my pom.
instead, i have to do this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifestFile>${basedir}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile>
<manifestEntries>
<Built-By>${jar.packaged.by}</Built-By>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
inside the project's pom so i can override the value (jar.packaged.by is
defined in my setting.xml file) which is rather annoying b/c i need to make
that change for multiple projects (they are all independent of each other so i
don't want a parent pom then can inherit from).
it would be great if there was a simple property exposed instead of having to
alter the plugin configuration.
thanks!!
