Tim Kettler commented on MJAR-41:
---------------------------------

Is it really illegal to have more than one Class-Path entry in a manifest?

See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/extensions/spec.html. Especially 
the line 'Multiple Class-Path headers may be specified, and are combined 
sequentially.'.

The document is for Java 1.5. I haven't checked if this beaviour is also true 
for earlier java versions.
