This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
To reproduce: 1) Create a new Enterprise Application (EAR) project with a Web Module (WAR) sub-project. 2) In the WAR project, add a custom manifest in ${conf.dir} (or add custom manifest entries to the existing manifest file there). 3) Build the WAR. -> The resulting WAR will contain the custom manifest entries. 4) Build the EAR. -> The contained WAR does NOT contain the custom manifest entries. In fact, you can also check the WAR in the WAR project's dist directory, which has been updated by the EAR build and doesn't contain the custom manifest any more. This used to work correctly in NB 6.7 and earlier.
This is regression caused by fix of issue 163971. The fix is trivial - manifest task in build script is missing "update=true" (it was accidentally removed). Both web project and ejb projects are impacted. I would like to resolve this for NB68 as it is regression and it generates wrong EAR application for user to deploy. Fixed in web-main as 508fa9db9cd8
Thanks David. Per the High Resistance process this should be kept open until it is merged into the 6.8 clone, so reopening.
Verified at web-main build by QE, please integrate into the release68.
