------------------------------------

             Summary: Make more clear that ManifestResourceTransformer can add *any* entry
                 Key: MSHADE-266
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-266
             Project: Maven Shade Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
         Environment: Documentation on Web
            Reporter: Bradley Turek
            Priority: Minor


I suggest that it be made blatantly clear that the ManifestResourceTransformer can add any name-value pair.

Maybe by example. What if we add the following?

h2. Setting Manifest Entries with the ManifestResourceTransformer
The ManifestResourceTransformer allows existing entries in the MANIFEST to be replaced and new entries added. 

Manifest entries are added using the following format:
{{<Name>Value</Name>}}

For example, having a configuration of
{code:xml}
    <transformer implementation=
"org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
        <manifestEntries>
            <Main-Class>com.foo.Main</Main-Class>
            <Implementation-Version>1.5.0</Implementation-Version>
            <Arbitrary-Entry>arbitrary value</Arbitrary-Entry>
        </manifestEntries>
    </transformer>
{code}

will result in a {{MANIFEST.MF}} of

{code}
...
Main-Class: com.foo.Main
Implementation-Version: 1.5.0
Arbitrary-Entry: arbitrary value
...
{code}


Here's a full example configuration with, the following sample entries and values

the Main-Class entry to the value of the app.main.class property,
the X-Compile-Source-JDK entry to the value of the maven.compile.source property and
the X-Compile-Target-JDK entry to the value of the maven.compile.target property.
