>                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-155
>             Project: Maven JAR Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 2.4
>            Reporter: Jae Gangemi
>            Priority: Minor
>
> i would like to override the Built-By attribute that gets injected into my manifest when the jar is packaged.
> according to this page: 
>   http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/jar/properties.html
> the user.name property is used as a default value but i am unable to override that property anywhere in my pom.
> instead, i have to do this:
>       <plugin>
>         <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>         <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
>         <version>2.4</version>
>         <configuration>
>           <archive>
>             <manifestFile>${basedir}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile>
>             <manifestEntries>
>               <Built-By>${jar.packaged.by}</Built-By>
>             </manifestEntries>
>           </archive>
>         </configuration>
>       </plugin>
> inside the project's pom so i can override the value (jar.packaged.by is defined in my setting.xml file) which is rather annoying b/c i need to make that change for multiple projects (they are all independent of each other so i don't want a parent pom then can inherit from).
> it would be great if there was a simple property exposed instead of having to alter the plugin configuration.
> thanks!!
