JAR Manifest File Format Specification
What Is Specifiction of a JAR manifest file?
✍: FYIcenter.com
If a manifest file is provided in a JAR file, it must meet the following specifications:
1. The manifest file must be locaed at META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in the JAR file.
2. The content of a manifest file can be divided into sections separated by empty lines.
3. A section is made up by lines of "name: value" pairs (also called headers or attributes).
4. The following is the technical definition of a manifest file:
manifest-file: main-section newline *individual-section main-section: version-info newline *main-attribute version-info: Manifest-Version : version-number version-number : digit+{.digit+}* main-attribute: (any legitimate main attribute) newline individual-section: Name : value newline *perentry-attribute perentry-attribute: (any legitimate perentry attribute) newline newline : CR LF | LF | CR (not followed by LF) digit: {0-9} section: *header +newline nonempty-section: +header +newline newline: CR LF | LF | CR (not followed by LF) header: name : value name: alphanum *headerchar value: SPACE *otherchar newline *continuation continuation: SPACE *otherchar newline alphanum: {A-Z} | {a-z} | {0-9} headerchar: alphanum | - | _ otherchar: any UTF-8 character except NUL, CR and LF ; Also: To prevent mangling of files sent via straight e-mail, no ; header will start with the four letters "From".
Here is a sample of a JAR manifest file:
