What are you currently getting out of Maven?

What have you tried which did not work as you required?
This, like many responses I've seen on this mailing list, is venturing
into "smarmy" territory. Legitimate questions have been asked about a
Maven component that is quite under-documented.
The final "work-around" is simply to write your own static Manifest
file and tell Maven where it is, and it will use it instead of
generating one itself. But this is a last-resort kind of thing,
usually.
It's also usually helpful to point people toward resources that might
help them decide whether or not they need to take this last-resort
(oops, a smarmy response from me). I suggest that anyone interested in
learning how to tweak their JAR manifests take a look at the source for
MavenArchiveConfiguration and ManifestConfiguration in:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/shared/tags/maven-archiver-2.2/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/archiver/
Here's a very simple example:
<configuration>
<archive>
<!-- don't include the POM and stuff in the jar -->
<addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor>
<!-- add custom manifest entries to the main section -->
<manifestEntries>
<Sealed>true</Sealed>
<This>has a value</This>
<That>has another value</That>
<TheOther>you get the idea</TheOther>
<!-- maven wants to put this stuff in, but i don't -->
<Built-By/>
<Build-Jdk/>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
<!-- recreate the jar no matter what -->
<forceCreation>true</forceCreation>
</configuration>
