           Summary: manifest-only jars are broken - whenmanifestonly has no
                    effect
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.7.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tim.vanholder@anubex.com


When trying to build a manifest-only jar, I always get

    [jar] Warning: skipping jar archive foo.jar because no files were included.
    [jar] Building jar: foo.jar

instead of the expected

    [jar] Building jar: foo.jar

(note that the jar file IS built, despite ant saying it is skipped)

Setting whenmanifestonly to any value (even 'fail') on the jar task has no effect.
Looking at the ant sources, it seems likely that the problem is that both Jar
and its superclass Zip have a emptyBehaviour field - and Zip's version has
'skip' as default (and unchangeable via Jar) value.
Removing Jar's emptyBehaviour field gets rid of the warning, and makes the
whenmanifestonly attribute work.
