[jdom-interest] Manifest

[Ken Roberts]

Hi folks.  This is my first attempt to post to this forum.  I've made a
change to the build.xml file which (approximately) reproduces your
manifest as a genuine manifest inside the distributable jar.

Our software uses the Package interface to programmatically verify the
version being used is adequate, and without an accurate MANIFEST.MF in
the jar I can't do this.  Please adopt these changes into your official
source in future releases.

The only change is near the "<jar" tag, so I'll only include the old
part and the part that I fixed.  Sorry for the length of text, but
that's what you have to do if you want a manifest with sections in it. 
The first attribute set, outside the <section> tags are the most
important for my needs.


Thanks, and here's my submission:

    <!-- the old part
    <jar jarfile="${build.dir}/${name}.jar"
         basedir="${build.dest}"
         excludes="META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
         manifest="${build.dest}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"/>
    -->
    <!-- the new part -->

    <property name="vendor"  value="jdom.org"/>
