Tim Astle commented on MTOMCAT-215:
-----------------------------------
There are also multiple LICENSE and NOTICE files under the META-INF, but I was
less concerned about those as I can't see those causing any potential technical
issues. Worst case, on unzip, those files are overwritten or renamed.
> 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
> Attachments: AbstractExecWarMojo.java.patch

> 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 as 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.
