manifestFile problem

[ra...@jpmchase.com]

Hi All,

before i ask my problem, quick check on one thing, is new ear plugin 2.3 
doesn't include implementation details in manifest ?

I'm having problemin using manifetFile attribute in ear plugin

                        <plugin>
                                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins
</groupId>
                                <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
                                        <configuration>
 <manifestFile>${basedir}/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile> 
                                        </configuration>
                        </plugin>


in my MANIFEST.MF  lets say i have

name: ${pom.artifactId}


but when my ear created and when i look into my manifest.mf i don't see 
the property  ${pom.artifactId} subsitiuted with the value of artifactId??

Is that something i'm doing wrong?

the other options i tried are

- I tried to include my manifest File as resources, but as a default 
manifest created from ear plugin that overwrites the manifest.mf at 
META-INF directory
- i tried to have src\main\application\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF, no use still 
my properties are not subsituted

any help appreciated





Thanks,
Raghurajan Gurunathan
