Description

I had to appeal to the list for information on how to control the Manifest for a JAR. The line of documentation in the maven-jar-plugin: "The maven archiver to use." is misleading. More examples in the maven-jar-plugin documentation would be good, as well as a link to http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-manifest.html
