Are you talking about a custom manifest file? That would completely drop our generated attributes like {{Build-Jdk}} or {{Created-By}}.
The traceability is only given if you know the network your are in. Only likely at work, at most. As you cannot disable the Maven-added section, I consider this problematic. Personally, I do not like the idea that my local machine username is branded in the JAR forever.

> As described in the StackOverflow question at http://stackoverflow.com/q/25098307/274350 maven-archiver should allow the user to remove the default manifest entries, such as "Built-By:"
> Currently it is possible to set an empty value for these default entries, but not to remove them from the manifest.
