Take a look at the BuildNumber[1] plugin The date will be the timestamp of the actual file - do you need to get this or can you use the file time?

It took a lot of trial and error to get a working split between the information in the parent's plug-in management and the module's plug-in description. There are 2 things that I would like to add. The first is the date that the manifest was made. The second is the SCM (subversion in my case) version number. Any ideas about how to get those into the Manifest? This is the current setup that works I put the following in the Parent POM <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2-beta-5</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>single</goal> </goals> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries> <addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries> </manifest> </archive> <descriptorRefs> <descriptorRef> jar-with-dependencies </descriptorRef> </descriptorRefs> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> and the following in the module <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build> This produced a nice MANIFEST.MF with the following: Manifest-Version: 1.0 Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver Created-By: Apache Maven Built-By: rwheeler Build-Jdk: 1.6.0_17 Specification-Title: Spring Specification-Version: 1.9.1 Specification-Vendor: Artifact Software Implementation-Title: Spring Implementation-Version: 1.9.1 Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.artifact_software.lms Implementation-Vendor: Artifact Software On 19/08/2010 4:08 PM, Ron Wheeler wrote: > The instructions worked beautifully. > > Now I have a lot of POMS to modify unless I can add something to my > parent pom that will modify the plug-ins in my module poms. > In my modules I have this: > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.2-beta-2</version> > <executions> > <execution> > <id>create-Jasper-jar</id> > <phase>package</phase> > <goals> > <goal>single</goal> > </goals> > <configuration> > <descriptorRefs> > <descriptorRef> > jar-with-dependencies > </descriptorRef> > </descriptorRefs> > </configuration> > </execution> > </executions> > </plugin> > I would like it to include : > <archive> > <manifest> > <addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries> > <addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries> > </manifest> > </archive> > to effectively become this: > <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.2-beta-2</version> > <executions> > <execution> > <phase>package</phase> > <goals> > <goal>single</goal> > </goals> > <configuration> > <archive> > <manifest> > <addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries> > <addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries> > </manifest> > </archive> > <descriptorRefs> > <descriptorRef> > jar-with-dependencies > </descriptorRef> > </descriptorRefs> > </configuration> > </execution> > </executions> > </plugin> > > Any way to get the parent pom to supply a bit of the plug-in > configuration? > > > On 19/08/2010 11:43 AM, Anders Hammar wrote: >> But you'll file a ticket to get this fixed, right? >> >> /Anders (mobile) >> >> Den 2010 8 19 17:36 skrev "Ron Wheeler"<[email protected]>: >>> http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/examples/manifest.html >>> Has a better description of how the mapping is done. >>> >>> Not sure why >>> http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-manifest.html >>> does not provide a link. >>> > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] ************************************************************************************** This message is confidential and intended only for the addressee.
