---------------------------------
Summary: Multiple manifests under META-INF, two Main-Class entries
Key: MTOMCAT-215
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT-215
Project: Apache Tomcat Maven Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tomcat7
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Tim Astle
Assignee: Olivier Lamy (*$^¨%`£)
Priority: Minor
Relates to this post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@tomcat.apache.org/msg104817.html
When using the -standalone jar / war mojos and looked into the artifact that
they produced, I noticed that the META-INF directory contained mulitple
MANIFEST.MF entries. I know that the zip archive format supports this, but I'm
worried that it may produce undesirable behaviour.
Two of the manifest entries define a Main-Class. I'm uncertain how a winner is
determined when -jar is the only option provided via command line.
Additionally, for users who unzip an archive to make modifications, they could
potentially blow-away the desirable manifest when manifests are overwritten to
the same location on disk, thus crippling the executable jar / war
functionality.
