I'm with Otis on this one. Ant's <jar> task elegantly solves the issue identified with repackaging. If you want to repackage with another tool, then it is your responsibility to address the manifest merging somehow yourself.

Besides, if you're using make, then you can probably pretty easily whip up a Perl script that will do this merging. :))

I have not yet tried this relatively new (as of Ant 1.6, since we
didn't write about it in Java Development with Ant), but it looks like
it addresses the concern of repackaging and keeping the manifest
version information from being lost.

That's fine if you're using Ant to build, but lots of folks don't.
