Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MJAR-193:
------------------------------------------

The apache bundle plugin generates the appropriate jar file so i don't see the need to add such a support in maven-jar-plugin? Or do you have a special use case? Maybe you can offer a sample project...

> It would be great to have a programmatic way to add entries to the manifest from other mojos. The most important client of such a way would be the maven bundle plugin (from the Apache Felix project) that calculates additional headers for OSGi bundles. Right now, that bundle does not only do the calculation but generates the jar file as well.
> While a workaround would be to let the bundle plugin generate the full manifest and configure the jar plugin to use it, this is not very elegant. Passing down a map of manifest entries from one mojo to the jar plugin would solve this in a much better way.
> And I could imagine that other mojos/plugins might benefit for this as well.
> This would be a simple but very convenient enhancement to the plugin
