I've found that this isn't always reliable -- commons-beanutils.jar in struts 1.2.9, for example, has 1.6 in the MANIFEST.MF. So I download the source to 1.6, and some classes are missing. So I download the source AND BINARY for commons-beanutils 1.7. Sure enough, the distribution's .jar says 1.6, but the file size of the binary .jar matches the filesize of the .jar included in struts 1.2.9. I conclude it must really be 1.7. SO, after having checked the MANIFEST.MF, I would suggest downloading the binary straight from the upstream distribution site and comparing file sizes/binaries to double-check.
