Manifest Class-Path header not transformed

[riswarichu]

With jakartaDefaults rules set to true the manifest of the jar is not changed. It still have references to javax

We are going to need a lot more details on the problem here to better understand the situation. Can you please provide a reproduction of the problem?

When I create a jar, manifest is created as below

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Build-Jdk-Spec: 11
Class-Path: javax.transaction-api.jar
Implementation-Title: richu
Implementation-Version: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Created-By: TEST - Apache Maven 3.6.3
Multi-Release: true

With the transformer, the javax reference in Cass-path of Manifest file is not changed, though the javax reference available inside the source class files are changed.

plug-in definition:
<plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.transformer</groupId> <artifactId>transformer-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>0.5.0</version> <configuration> <rules> <jakartaDefaults>true</jakartaDefaults> </rules> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>transform-and-jar</id> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <!-- <goal>transform</goal> --> <!-- This goal transforms javax to jakarta --> <goal>jar</goal> <!-- This goal creates a JAR file with the transformed classes --> </goals> <configuration> <classifier>ee10</classifier> <!-- Classifier for the new JAR file --> <!-- Add any other configurations needed for the plugin --> <artifact> <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId> <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId> <version>${project.version}</version> </artifact> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin>

Thanks for the explanation. Transformer does not do anything with the Class-Path manifest header since it references things outside of the jar. The ManifestActionImpl only processes select manifest headers for package name changes.

	private static final Set<String> SELECT_ATTRIBUTES = Sets.of("DynamicImport-Package", "Import-Package",
	"Export-Package", "Subsystem-Content", "IBM-API-Package", "Provide-Capability", "Require-Capability");

So for this case, you will need to modify the Class-Path manifest entry in some other way.
