metadata - How can I add meta data to a maven pom -

i have maven pom deployed repo -and want add meta data tags..... example, date created, git md5, etc...

most importantly , want meta data seen in pom itself, (and embedded in jar/zip artifact, easy do).

can add more (nonidentifying) xml fields pom declaration, can used browsing not required defining pom resource ?

if not, simple way annotate information resource in maven deployment server (i'm using archiva, similar nexus)-- of course, there "version" field, don't want have cram metadata 1 field.

there fields in pom.xml can used found under more project information in pom reference.

you squeeze information description tag , parse way like.

or use <properties/> , create useful tags there fulfill requirements. may not recommended way use properties still option.

by using properties easy values manifest.mf file using filtering techniques in combination maven jar plugin.
