Found a new oddity that perhaps someone can explain.
I am trying to build a WAR file using maven-war-plugin
If I put the proper configuration in the module's POM I get the Manifest that I want.

If I just put it in the parent in the plug-in section without any mention of the plug-in at all in the module I do get a WAR file but I do not get the Manifest that I want.

If I put the plugin configuration in the parent's dependencyManagement section and put a reference just to the plug-in in the module, I get the WAR file without the Manifest that I want.

This is the whole configuration section that gives me the Manifest.

<configuration>
<warSourceDirectory>WebContent</warSourceDirectory>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
<addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>

It appears that Maven is bypassing the plug-in unless it is explicit in the module POM.

Is this right or am I missing something to get maven-war-plugin to be configured in the parent POM?
