manifest.mf should include Xerces parser

           Summary: manifest.mf should include Xerces parser
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5Beta2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: oli-apache@puppycrawl.com


In previous releases to 1.5, the Crimson parser was automatically included in
the classpath. This was setup by the manifest.mf file in the ant.jar. It looks
like ANT has changed to the use the Xerces parser instead of Crimson. The
manifest.mf file in the ant.jar needs to be updated to reflect this.

Currently since there is no XML parser in the classpath (I do not care if it
is Xerces or Crimson), it breaks tasks like <junit> which require one. This
has the potentially cause major backward compatibility problems.
