Description Jesse Glick 2001-09-13 23:09:43 UTC 
JAR Packager should let you specify a manifest on disk that it will
load from permanently, rather than making you reload it manually every
time the manifest changes. Also when browsing for a manifest file, it
should use filesystems (not FileChooser), e.g. using the property
editor for DataObject, and should start searching in the same folder
as the .jarContents.
Comment 1 Mike Schilling 2001-09-21 20:38:03 UTC 
To do this:

1. Make sure the manifest property is empty (no items).
2. Add the file as an item in the JAR recipe's contents whose target 
is META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
