Excluding Manifest.MF when generating jar-files

Hello list,
 
I am currently trying to create jar-files without the MANIFEST.MF
included.
How can i tell Maven2 to not include those?
 
I have already figured out that adding:
 
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <archive>
            <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor> 
        </archive>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

helps me removing that "maven" subfolder in "META-INF", which contains
pom.properties and stuff. But now I would like to not include a
MANIFEST.MF either. Anyway, I can't figure out how to configure that.
Could anyone help me with this?!

The jar file stores also the file date of the individual files. I am
not sure I fully understand what you are trying to do, but the
MANIFEST.MF file is probably not your only problem.

Manifest.MF files are created dynamically, but I need to compare newly
built jar-artifacts to older ones in order to find out if they have
changed. This is done by simply checking md5 hashes. Those hashes are
modified by the manifest.mf ... therefore I need to get rid of it ...

What possible reason do you have for needing this functionality? I'm
curious.
