Hi,
I keep mumbling at how tools that interact with Maven-built artifacts
(like repository managers or indexing tools) are unable to present
accurate/complete information about those artifacts, because they lack a
crucial piece of the puzzle, and that is the effective pom that was in
effect during the build of that artifact.
Maven archivers already store the pom.xml in META-INF, but this is not
enough, as a lot of the info could actually be stored somewhere else (in
parent poms, for instance) or be variable (was a certain profile
activated or not during the build, what were the values of the ${...}
placeholders).
I believe it might make sense to get the archivers to store a bit more
information about the build in META-INF, maybe something that resembles
the output of the help:effective-pom mojo, for the purpose of having a
standard place to look for all build-related information in a more
complete and accurate fashion.
WDYT? Is that idea worth creating a JIRA for?
