Hello, If I am not mistaken the current JAR task always creates a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
is there a specific reason for this? The specification says the META-INF/* is optional


http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jar/jar.html

I have a patch for this, it introduces an optional withManifest attribute (true/false) defualt behaivour as
with jar command is true. The withManifest attribute overrides manifest and a warning is generated if withManifest is false but manifest is set. I would like to submit this patch, if I understand correctly I send a
message to this group, subject [PATCH] and provide the cvs diffed output of my changes. Does this procedure apply to html documentation as well and can I submit code changes and documentation changes seperately or should they all be bundled together? Also should I attach my (changed) files to this message or is this unnecessary.


Regards Hussein.
