Marshall Culpepper commented on JBIDE-449:
------------------------------------------

This was a problem with Ant < 1.7. The "jar" task would make you specify the static manifest entry so that it wouldn't get overwritten by Ant's automatic manifest generator. I think we can get rid of this now though, as we can just fallback to using the "zip" task, and not have Ant assume any structural meta data. Also, since our package builder is going to be the preferred method of package generation, Dependence on Ant is a secondary issue.

> What is that Custom Manifest used for anyhow ?
> Is it not just a standard META-INF/manifest.mf you are looking for ?
> and if yes - what is so special about it compared to what things you otherwise put in META-INF ?
