Today, I checked out an old branch of a long running EclipseMe project, 
and created a new Eclipse project from it.

I did it via "New Java Project" -> From existing source., rather than 
Import, because I couldnt get import to recognize the checked out code 
as a project dir (despite having a .project file in it). Strange...

Anyway, everything seemed to work ok at first (except see my recent 
email). However, when I build an obfuscated Jar from the project, I find 
that the output Jar has no manifest and is thus invalid. (Previously 
this is always working fine for the same project.)

It would be good to figure out what has prevented EclipseME from 
generating the manifest.

Also, may I suggest that EclipseME complains a bit louder if it 
cannot/did not generate the manifest. Not having one means a totally 
broken jar, yet I saw no error on screen or in Eclipse log.

One possible explanation: the branch is about 1 month old. I think when 
it was created, I was running Eclipse 3.2.2, EclipseME 1.6.x, and now 
when I check out, I have upgraded to Eclipse 3.3 and EclipseME 1.7.6. 
Perhaps such version differences are causing (i) inability to import, or 
(ii) failure to generate manifest.

Do you think it is a likely reason, Craig?
