[MASSEMBLY-737] Generated WAR file does not contain the same default manifest entries as created by the Maven WAR Plugin

**[Michael Osipov](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michael-o)** opened **[MASSEMBLY-737](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-737?redirect=false)** and commented

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:

```

deployable

war

false


true
false

```

Start by reproducing the WAR packaging described in the issue with the attached massembly-737.zip and compare its MANIFEST.MF with the Maven WAR Plugin output. Trace the assembly plugin's WAR and manifest handling; done means the generated WAR's default manifest entries match the expected behavior or the discrepancy is otherwise resolved.
