If you convert your build to Maven (from whatever you are using now),
you can specify the exact version of the various third-party tools you
are using. Then there is no checking the manifest file.

And assuming those third-party jars have published sources in the
Maven repo, they can be automatically pulled down for use in an IDE
like Eclipse, Netbeans, etc.
