It is also redundant information - each jar has a well-defined Manifest that should include version.

But I agree - relying only on manifest is not reasonable at this moment.

One idea would be to distribute a filename.jar.MANIFEST next to each jar that doesn't have a proper manifest - and have tools check for this file ( in addition to the manifest inside the jar ). It would allow us to add the missing info from the manifest - and use the real manifest where
it is available. Again - it's all a matter of tool and product
support.




Centipede builds a manifest for all jars.
Krysalis Version, will look into a manifest for version information.

The tools are starting to come.

If we build it (the repo)  they (the tools) will come.
