Ah. Perhaps a better option than being bug-compatible is to throw an
JarException with a better message than "premature EOF, line 1"?

This has annoyed me for a while but there is a more serious bug - the
jar tool doesn't seem able to cope with JAR 1.2 archives.

But we should probably be compatible I guess.

The jar tool blows up if a zero-byte manifest file is provided. Sun's
jar tool does not blow up. Here's how to reproduce it:
$ touch manifest
$ jar -cfm asdf.jar manifest manifest
You'll get something like this:
java.io.IOException: premature EOF, line 1
at java.lang.Throwable.fillIn
