[MWAR-353] Manifest still not written to exploded location

**[Jakub Bochenski](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=jbochenski)** opened **[MWAR-353](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-353?redirect=false)** and commented

If I have no manifest files I don't get anything in the exploded location.
If I put a `MANIFEST.MF` under webapp folder's `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF` I just get the static file.
If I set `archive/manifestFile` to point at some file I just get the static file.

Workaround: change

```xml

exploded

```

to

```xml

manifest
exploded

```

and add the generated files to SCM ignore.
