I ran a little test myself just now and got the following results:
New manifest file added to /src/main/resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
"mvn clean package" executed against project
Two manifest files contained in resulting WAR file:
/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF -- entirely generated by Maven, no data from
/src/main/resources
/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF -- a copy of my
/src/main/resources file with no extra data from Maven
Seems to me that this is basically a bug in the WAR plugin, unless
someone knows otherwise... I'd expect both files would have the same
info in them and/or only one file would be created. It seems like the
META-INF under /classes is probably invalid/not used according to the
J2EE Specifications.

But I think you have understand my mind.
Your thinking is compatible with my question.

Both of {WAR}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and
{WAR}/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF are affected by the MANIFEST.MF
file.
a cup of Java, cheers!
