How to add Implementation-Build to manifest of custom plugin

SonarQube Plugin Development
1

In the extension Guide it is stated that you can add the Implementation-Build information to the build properties (and hence the manifest file in the resulting jar).
BUT … as the sonar-packaging-maven-plugin is used and this plugin has no configuration entry for this field, I have no option to add this field to the manifest.

First of al, in what way is this field usefull? And secondly how can I implement it in a maven build?

Reason is that our admin is reporting a null value on the log, when starting sonarqube. And he compares it the deploy logging of the Ruby, Scala and Swift plugins.

OK … got it … the sonar-packaging-maven-plugin accepts the manifestEntries tag, same as the maven jar plugin. As example in the configuration:

<configuration>
	<pluginClass>org.sonar.plugins.sql.SQLPlugin</pluginClass>
	<archive>
		<manifestEntries>
			<Implementation-Build>${sonar.implementationBuild}</Implementation-Build>
		</manifestEntries>
	</archive>
</configuration>
