nice article ;-)
There's one comment I do not understand though:

You can add all kind of entries to the manifest. You may even overwrite the
defaults. We use typically:
===================== %< ======================
<archive>
<manifest>
<addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
</manifest>
<manifestEntries>
<Specification-Version>${parsedVersion.majorVersion}.
${parsedVersion.minorVersion}</Specification-Version>
<X-Compile-Source>${java.version.source}</X-Compile-Source>
<X-Compile-Target>${java.version.target}</X-Compile-Target>
<X-Builder>Maven ${maven.version}</X-Builder>
<X-Build-Time>${maven.build.timestamp}</X-Build-Time>
<X-Build-Os>${os.name}</X-Build-Os>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
===================== %< ======================
With the $parsedVersion and $maven.version variables provided by the build-
helper plugin.
Cheers,
Jörg
