We also have one in the wicket war.

The standard behavior for Maven is to add its own properties file into the artifact containing buildtime information.

Max will be happy when I say that there is a stackoverflow.com answer to this question:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1477587/how-to-exclude-pom-xml-from-maven-generated-war

One suggestion is this config, but in a quick test it didn't work for me.

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0</version>

        <configuration>
          <archive>
            <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor>

          </archive>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

      ...
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>
