    Comment:
The attached patch to the plugin.jelly script for the maven-jar-plugin will
allow you to add arbitrary values to the manifest--complete with sections
which will make the sealing of classes/packages possible.  The new values
are added like this:


maven.jar.manifest.attributes.list = GUIApp-Conf,GUIApp-Instrument,GUIApp-Log
maven.jar.manifest.attribute.GUIApp-Conf = org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.xconf
maven.jar.manifest.attribute.GUIApp-Instrument = org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.instruments
maven.jar.manifest.attribute.GUIApp-Log = org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.xlog

maven.jar.manifest.groups.list = DemoAppConstants,ValidateQuitApplication
maven.jar.manifest.DemoAppConstants.name=org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoAppConstants.class
maven.jar.manifest.DemoAppConstants.attributes.list=Description,Foo
maven.jar.manifest.DemoAppConstants.attribute.Description=It's ok
maven.jar.manifest.DemoAppConstants.attribute.Foo=bar

maven.jar.manifest.ValidateQuitApplication.name=org/d_haven/demoapp/screens/ValidateQuitApplication.class
maven.jar.manifest.ValidateQuitApplication.attributes.list=Description
maven.jar.manifest.ValidateQuitApplication.attribute.Description=We are rockin'

This will add to the Maven generated Manifest like this:

.... skip maven generated content ....
GUIApp-Conf: org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.xconf
GUIApp-Instrument: org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.instruments
GUIApp-Log: org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoApp.xlog

Name: org/d_haven/demoapp/DemoAppConstants.class
Description: It's ok
Foo: bar

Name: org/d_haven/demoapp/screens/ValidateQuitApplication.class
Description: We are rockin'



Please note that all the existing functionality has been preserved.  We are
only adding the ability to add sections and attributes of our own design.
I personally don't like having to specify these things in property format,
but I don't know much about extending the POM so I can't propose a nicer
format.  Anyway, this makes it easy for plugins to add new attributes, etc.

Description:
The current JAR plugin provides you with a number of neat options for standardizing all the information in the JARs it creates.  Unfortunately, there is no obvious way to add your own entries to it.  There is also no support for sections.  I have a patch that will allow all of this to happen--without sacrificing the standard JAR entries or current functionality.
