I'm building a Spring Boot application using spring-boot-starter-parent version 2.1.0-RELEASE and need it to produce a deployable WAR file containing a MANIFEST.MF in the META-INF/ directory. I've set up the Maven WAR plugin to include the manifest in the build artifact:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.2.2</version> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries> </manifest> </archive> </configuration> </plugin>
However, the final build artifact doesn't include a manifest file. I noticed that Spring Boot performs a repackaging after the Maven WAR plugin packaged the WAR file in the first place:
[INFO] --- spring-boot-maven-plugin:2.1.0.RELEASE:repackage (repackage)
And indeed the artifact.war.original in the target directory does contain the manifest.
How do I make Spring Boot to include the manifest in the final WAR file as well?
