Description

I am repackaging a WAR file with some files exchanged. The original file contains following manifest entries:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Built-By: osipovmi
Build-Jdk: 1.7.0_55
Created-By: Apache Maven 3.2.2
Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver

The MANIFEST.MF generated by this plugin looks like:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 24.55-b03 (Oracle Corporation)
Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver

while the descriptor looks very simple:

<assembly
    xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
