How to keep manifest and exclude POM from JAR?

Found that I can exclude pom.xml from final jar using:

<archive>
   <addMavenDescriptor>true</addMavenDescriptor>
</archive>

But this exclude the xml and the pom.properties is there a way to keep only pom.properties?

thx

This cannot be done using the conventional methods in maven.

Although, when you execute the maven goal (install, package...), the pom.properties is created at the following location:

target\maven-archiver\pom.properties

You can explicitly include this resource in your archive by modifying the jar/war plugin configuration.
