It is unclear from https://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/kar if a `.kar` file needs `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF`. On the one side the `spring-4.0.0.kar` example contains `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF`. On the other side the next paragraps says ``` As a KAR file is a simple zip file, you can create the KAR file by hand. For instance, the following Unix commands create a very simple KAR file: ~$ mkdir repository ~$ cp /path/to/features.xml repository/features.xml ~$ cp /path/to/my.jar repository/my/project/my/1.0.0/my-1.0.0.jar ~$ zip -r my.kar repository updating: repository/ (stored 0%) adding: repository/my/project/my/1.0.0/my-1.0.0.jar (deflated 0%) ``` * `my.kar` does not contain `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF` * In a test I created locally, `mvn install karaf:kar` creates a `.kar` file and it contains under `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF`: ``` Manifest-Version: 1.0 Created-By: Kar Maven Plugin 4.4.8 Build-Jdk-Spec: 21 ``` So does a `.kar` file need a `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF`? If yes, then what purpose does it serve and what shall be included there? If no, why does Kar Maven Plugin 4.4.8 include it? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
