Not sure what the jar CLI tool does, but Ant always adds it (I just looked into the code). It has to be the first extra field of the directory entry of META-INF/ - which in turn has to be the very first entry IIRC. <https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32649> confirms that. If you try it on a jar without a main class you'll get the exact same effect as running java -jar manually.
