Hi,
Problem 1 seems to be that the MANIFEST spec says that attributes cannot be repeated in one section while other specs say that you could do that for the Class-Path attribute in the main section. It seems that JDK 1.4.2 now emits warnings for duplicate attribute names, and these warnings include the Class-Path attribute.
This is pretty odd http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/extensions/spec.html
"Multiple Class-Path headers may be specified, and are combined sequentially."
We can add a warning to the Manifest code, I guess and perhaps even combine into a single attribute.
well, now that 1.4.2 has shipped if there is a diff from spec to impl, we can complain.
As an aside, I spent last night tracking down a 1.4.2 regression in my code. the cause: the new PIII floating point stuff, in which floats are moved to the PIII SSE register set, and (if present), doubles to the P4 SSE2 FPU. It looks like the new register sets are more accurate than the old x86 ones, so some floating point number comparisions were failing, when they were suceeding before.
