After looking further into this matter, I begin to doubt the correctness of

hi steve
IIRC this point has been talked about at a little length in the past. i see to remember something about an ant issue (or at least a good point raised by some of the ant team) which is why the documented standard was adopted. i'd recommend checking the list archive and reading the whole thread.
if circumstances have changed and the maven manifest is now more correct than the standard commons one, then probably the documentation should be changed. if (on the other hand) it turns out that maven is less correct then it's better to go with the agreed standard.
They recommend this line in the manifest
Implementation-Title: "org.apache.commons.foo"
The existing maven system produces Package: "org.apache.commons.net"
To me, "Package" is a more descriptive key than "Implementation-Title" for
this value anyway.
I will stick with what Maven does.
commons usually uses the sun standards. "Implementation-Title" seems to be the sun-favoured name (http://java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/basics/ manifest.html, for example). there doesn't really seem to be any reason why duplicate values should not occur in the manifest and so there really isn't any reason why you couldn't list both.
