Description

When I open up my generated WAR file, the Manifest file contains all the entries I specified. This is correct. However, when I look into the exploded location, it's just the file I had in my project to begin with.

The exploded Manifest should be updated with the final contents.

This is important so that, say, Spring Tools Suite for eclipse can deploy a war project to DM Server.

Funny thing is, with 2.1-beta-1, if you do either a war:war, or a war:exploded, the custom manifest (generated by maven-bundle-plugin) is ignored, BUT if I do a maven package, the output directory contains the correct manifest.

Here's a patch that copies a user specified manifest to the correct place when you do war:exploded.

First time working on a maven plugin, so go easy

patch is against /tags/maven-war-plugin-2.1-beta-1

Any chance to review and apply attached patches?

It's important for example when you use manifest.mf to keep information about build number or date which is displayed in the application UI.

@Paul
Is this releated to MWAR-197.

@Haikal
If you are using another plugin to generate a custom manifest that you include in the WAR Plugin's configuration, then you need to execute that plugin before the war or exploded goal. Something like this:
mvn manifest:create-custom war:war

Dennis, no, it is not related. MWAR-197 deals with missing manifest entries. This ticket deals with the entire manifest being absent from target/<WAR_EXPLODED_LOCATION>.

Paul, could you attach a small sample project with your configuration?
