Sorry, I don't consider this "smarmy"... Let me refer to ESR's "How to ask questions the smart way": http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
If people won't provide the information needed to provide an answer, the only way you can get it is by explicitly asking for it... which is what I did. The other choice of course is to simply ignore these kinds of emails asking for help until/unless they provide sufficient information, which is IMO less helpful.

This, like many responses I've seen on this mailing list, is venturing into "smarmy" territory.

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> -- -Greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
