title: How to keep manifest and exclude POM from JAR?
body: <p>Found that I can exclude <strong><em>pom.xml</em></strong> from final jar using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;archive&gt;
     &lt;addMavenDescriptor&gt;true&lt;/addMavenDescriptor&gt;
  &lt;/archive&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this exclude the xml and the pom.properties is there a way to keep only pom.properties?</p>
  
  <p>thx</p>
