standalone artifact contains multiple META-INF/manifest.mf files

[Timothy Astle <ti...@caris.com>]

Hi all,

I just seen something that I'm a bit unsure of.  I used the Tomcat Maven 
Plugin to generate an executable JAR file and I noticed that the 
META-INF directory contained multiple manifest.mf files.  Two of which 
contain Main-Class attributes.

I know that the zip archive standard allows for mulitple files with the 
same name / same location to be added to an archive, but I get the 
feeling that this may not be the desired behaviour.

I compared the JAR file built by the Maven Tomcat Plugin to the first 
WAR built by the WAR plugin, and the multiple manifest introductions are 
being done by the Maven Tomcat Plugin's additional artifact generation.

Any thoughts on this?
