[jira] Commented: (MNG-2579) Let META-INF/maven/../pom.properties|pom.xml be generated in generate-resources

["Alexander Klimetschek (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Alexander Klimetschek commented on MNG-2579:
--------------------------------------------

A BuildTimeStamp would be very cool as a property. Or something like the identifier suffix Maven uses to separate the different versions of a snapshot jar in the repositories, which uses timestamps too.

> Some applications use the META-INF/maven/../pom.properties to read the application/jar version at runtime.
> This file is generated in the package phase.
> During unit tests, or running applications from the workspace (project tree), these files
> are not available, which causes problems.
> Suggest to move the pom.(properties|xml) generating code in the maven-jar-plugin to a separate
> mojo that's bound to generate-resources.
