Pimp my Manifest

[Kevin Wright]

As part of a webapp build, I want to generate some additional entries in the manifest, equivalent to the following fragment from Maven via maven-war-plugin:

<manifestEntries>

    <Group-Id>${project.groupId}</Group-Id>

    <Artifact-Id>${project.artifactId}</Artifact-Id>

    <Version>${project.version}</Version>

    <Git-SHA1>${git.buildNumber}</Git-SHA1>

    <Built-When>${maven.build.timestamp}</Built-When>

    <Build-Machine>${build.host.name}</Build-Machine>

    <Build-Number>${CRUISE_PIPELINE_COUNTER}</Build-Number>

</manifestEntries>

I'm already happy with using <<= to pull settings around and manipulate them, so I don't think I'd have any problem generating an appropriate fragment and pushing it into a setting.  But I have no idea how/where I should be configuring extra manifest entries.

Any advice would be gratefully received :)

Turns out, the standard ones would be available in 0.11[1] :)

For additional manifest attributes, you have to append `ManifestAttributes` to `packageOptions`. Scoped `packageOptions` to appropriate task is also worth considering (e.g., you'll hardly bother to have Build-Machine show up in MANIFEST.MF of scaladoc.jar).
