Required Parameters

Name	Type	Since	Description
`<buildDirectory>`	`File`	`-`	The output directory of the jar file By default this is the Maven "target/" directory. User property is: `project.build.directory`.
`<finalName>`	`String`	`-`	Name of the generated JAR. User property is: `project.build.finalName`. Alias is: `jarName`.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Since	Description
`<additionalFileSets>`	`DefaultFileSet[]`	`-`	Additional files to be included in the bundle jar. This can be used when `bin.includes` in build.properties is not flexible enough , e.g. for generated files. If conflicting, additional files win over `bin.includes` Example: <additionalFileSets> <fileSet> <directory>${project.build.directory}/mytool-gen/</directory> <includes> <include>*/</include> </includes> </fileSet> </additionalFileSets>
`<archive>`	`MavenArchiveConfiguration`	`-`	The maven archiver to use. One of the archiver properties is the `addMavenDescriptor` flag, which indicates whether the generated archive will contain the pom.xml and pom.properties file. If no archive configuration is specified, the default value is `true`. If the maven descriptor should not be added to the artifact, use the following configuration: <plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId> <artifactId>tycho-packaging-plugin</artifactId> <version>${tycho-version}</version> <configuration> <archive> <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor> </archive> </configuration> </plugin>
`<deriveHeaderFromProject>`	`boolean`	`-`	Whether to derive OSGi-Headers from the maven-pom configuration, currently the following header are supported `Constants.BUNDLE_LICENSE` is generated from maven <licenses> configuration Default value is: `true`.
`<qualifier>`	`String`	`-`	Build qualifier. Recommended way to set this parameter is using build-qualifier goal. User property is: `buildQualifier`.
`<sourceReferences>`	`SourceReferences`	`-`	Whether to generate an Eclipse-SourceReferences MANIFEST header. When using this parameter, property ${tycho.scmUrl} must be set and be a valid maven SCM URL. Example configuration: <sourceReferences> <generate>true</generate> </sourceReferences> Note that a `SourceReferencesProvider` component must be registered for the SCM type being used. You may also override the generated value by configuring: <sourceReferences> <generate>true</generate> <customValue>scm:myscm:customSourceReferenceValue</customValue> </sourceReferences>
`<strictBinIncludes>`	`boolean`	`-`	If set to `true` (the default), missing build.properties bin.includes will cause build failure. If set to `false`, missing build.properties bin.includes will be reported as warnings but the build will not fail. Default value is: `true`.
`<useDefaultExcludes>`	`boolean`	`-`	(no description) Default value is: `true`.
