Hi,

Ignore my previous comment - the <inherited/> element only works the other way (parent -> child) around.

---- snip ---
*inherited*: true or false, whether or not this plugin configuration should apply to POMs which inherit from this one.

Hi,

I'm having a project with some 15 or so modules. All those modules have a manifest file which is provided by the developers. So I put some config for the jar plugin in the parent pom to include that manifest for all modules:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
 <archive>
  <manifestFile>path/to/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile>
 </archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>

OK, this is working, so far, so good. Now I have one other modul which doesn't have a manifest file. Maven complains about the missing manifest which is configured in the parent. How can I unset the manifestFile configuration so the jar-plugin will go back to it's default behaviour and create one?

My naive approach was this plugin configuration in the module's pom:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
 <archive>
  <manifestFile />
 </archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>

which I thought might the the plugin make forget the manifestFile config from the parent, but that doesn't work.

What would be the correct solution for this problem?

Jerome
