Thanks for the resource plug, Ivan. :)
Alternatively, assuming ${jar} points to the relevant
jar file, you could use
<url url="jar:file:///${jar}!/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" />
or
<javaresource name="META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
classpath="${jar}" />
;)
Note that the <url>-based solution requires that the
${jar} property be an absolute path (not sure of the
rules regarding file: urls and relative paths).
Finally, I don't know if it's good or bad that there
are three resource-based ways to access a manifest,
but it's interesting, anyway.
