Are you aware of the fact that servlet specification clearly defines the
location in the war archive where manifest files should go?



And my question was why you don't put it there
and if there is any difference between 

webapp
   WEB-INF
       classes
   META-INF
       MANIFEST.MF

and 


webapp
   WEB-INF
     lib
       foo.jar!/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF


IMO there is absolutely no difference and servlet spec _recommends_ the
first option!

So this reason is not really a valid one and there is no any other valid
reason why this should be done. At least I am not going to do this.
