This is a pure Maven convention. Look into the manifest. At least Maven-generated jars have proper values and your chance to get proper info from other jars increases also. - Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Some days you're the magician, some days you're the apprentice.

Hi Jörg, Many thanks for your answer! There should not basic support for this in c-l, but with the StringUtils/Charset and so on, I found it very complicated to achieve such problem ;-) ... with a regular expression it is easy ... so lets stop the discussion here ( I have currently a dependency to c-l and don't want to have another to regexp libs). - Thomas Wabner -Original Message- From: Jörg Schaible [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Freitag, 22.
