Peter,
you are right. It works fine with the Java plugin. Now I understand
that the JavaPluginConvention.manifest method is called in the case
the "manifest {}" construct is used in the root of the gradle script
(I mean outside of the Jar task).
Thanks for your help,

All code examples in the user guide are automatically tested as part of the
Gradle build, so this should work. Have you (implicitly or explicitly)
applied the "java-base" or "java" plugin to the root project? Otherwise,
project.manifest {} won't work (only jar.manifest {}). Maybe the
documentation
