Discarding 'pom.properties' & 'pm.xml' at the time of JAR creatio n

["Sharma, Jaikumar" <ja...@barco.com>]

Dear Maven Users,
 
 
In a multi-module project, I have configured the maven-jar-plugin to NOT to
add 'pom.properties' and 'pom.xml' at the time when build creates JAR
archive for one of the module, but it comes out with an error.
 
[INFO]

Excerpts from my parent pom.xml, where maven-jar-plugin has been configured.
  
<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0</version>           
           <!-- configuration to discard 'pom.properties' and 'pom.xml'
files from being added in
           ' JAR archive  
           -->     
         <configuration>
              <archive>                
                <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor>
              </archive>
         </configuration>      
  </plugin>   
 
 
Is this a problem with maven-jar-plugin or I am doing something wrong ? Any
enlightment is appreciated.
 
Thanks.
