Manifest Created-By - interesting jGuru question
Usually I tackle all the jGuru questions myself, but this one seemed
interesting enough to cross-post over here:
http://www.jguru.com/forums/view.jsp?EID=568077
Anyone want to respond to that one either directly at jGuru or here?
Thanks,
Erik

A self compiled, hacked together using spit and gaffer tape version of
konquror (K Desktops browser). So probably no need to inform the jGuru people
just yet ;)

What browser? Is it an issue that I should report to the jGuru folks?

Good question. :)
That feature doesn't currently exist - I did promise to update Jakarta's Ant
FAQ periodically with new stuff though and I will do that at some point.
I just wish Jakarta and jGuru could work together somehow to integrate the
FAQ's for all Jakarta projects. Its searchable, maintainable, and allows
folks to comment on FAQ entries, etc, and its built on Lucene as its search
engine. The static nature of most (all?) of Jakarta FAQ's is bad. jGuru
would love to be tighter with Jakarta. Anyway, 'nuff said - thats just my
$0.02 worth on it. I think Jakarta-general isn't too hip on jGuru
integration for some reason, unfortunately.

My browser doesn't seem to like the jGuru site ... really got to update
sometime soon. However my response would be;
"Manifest-Version:" defines the version of the the manifest format.
While the specs do indicate that "Created-By:" should define vendor and
version of JDK created using this is only because the writers of the spec
never invisioned that jars would be created by tools not part of jdk. Because
all jdks have a jar tool giving JVM version + vendor is enough to identify
the tool that created the jar. As ant has it's own jar implementation which
is not tied to any particular tools the "Created-By:" needs to use some other
information to identify the tool that created the jar - in our case I believe
it is something like "Created-By: Ant 1.4.1" or similar ?
BTW what ever hapened to jGuru generating XML dumps of the FAQs so that we
could resync our faq periodicly ? Is that still go?
