[jira] Closed: (MASSEMBLY-465) unable to customize manifest while specifying my own descriptor file

["Dennis Lundberg (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-465?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dennis Lundberg closed MASSEMBLY-465.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Bug

Creating a zip format assembly will never include a manifest. Only jar format assemblies can have a manifest.

>                 Key: MASSEMBLY-465
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-465
>             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-5
>         Environment: windows
>            Reporter: Elisha Ebenezer
>
> I've configured my maven-jar-plugin and maven-assembly-plugin to 
> add 'lib/' prefix to Classpath entries in the manifest file for project-artifact jar. as below
> <configuration>
>   <archive>
>     <manifest>
>       <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
>       <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
>     </manifest>
>   </archive>
> </configuration>
> I've created my own assembly descriptor to do:
> 1. Place project artifact in / folder
> 2. Place all the dependencies (excluding project artifact) in /lib folder
> <assembly>
>   <id>dist</id>
>   <formats>
>     <format>zip</format>
>   </formats>
>   <fileSets>
>     <fileSet>
>       <directory>${project.build.directory}</directory>
>       <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
>       <includes>
>         <include>*.jar</include>
>       </includes>
>     </fileSet>
>   </fileSets>
>   <dependencySets>
>     <dependencySet>
>       <useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
>       <outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
>     </dependencySet>
>   </dependencySets>
> </assembly>
> I expected the following behavior:
> 1. artifact jar in build directory should have manifest as mentioned in the arhive configuration.
> 2. artifact jar in assembly jar should also have manifest as mentioned above.
> BUT, I observed the following:
> 1. artifact jar in build directory is* having manifest as mentioned in archive config.
> 2. artifact jar in assembly is *NOT* having the manifest as mentioned.
>    a. classpath has ONLY compile time dependencies and NOT runtime dependencies
>    b. And also, lib prefix is NOT present.
> I'm not sure whether I've got my descriptor wrong or whether there is some serious bug in the plugin. Please investigate.
