DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45882] New: Ensure all jars have full manifests and N & L files

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45882

           Summary: Ensure all jars have full manifests and N & L files
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Native:Packaging
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sebb@apache.org


The commons-el.jar, jsp-api.jar and servlet-api.jar files have manifests, which
contain some details of the contents of the jar. However, most of the other
jars have minimal manifest entries.

All the jars should have manifests with at least the following entries:

Built-By:
X-Compile-Source-JDK:
X-Compile-Target-JDK:
Name: and/or Extension-Name:
Specification-Title:
Specification-Vendor:
Specification-Version:
Implementation-Title:
Implementation-Vendor-Id:
Implementation-Vendor:
Implementation-Version:

And all the jars should have NOTICE and LICENSE files, as is done in the
commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar.

This enhancement has been addressed in the 6.0.x and later branches. It won't
be addresses for 5.5.x.

The catalina jar can easily make use of the properties.
It must have a specification, as it has to agree with how it is designed to
work as part of Tomcat. So for example it could look like:

Built-By: whoever
X-Compile-Source-JDK: 1.5
X-Compile-Target-JDK: 1.5
Name: and/or Extension-Name: Catalina engine
Specification-Title: Apache Tomcat
Specification-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
Specification-Version: 5.5
Implementation-Title: Apache Tomcat
Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache.catalina
Implementation-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
Implementation-Version: 5.5.x

The Specification properties are less essential, but having the other details
is quite useful.

I don't see how many of those values apply to most of the Tomcat jars. What,
for example, would you expect the manifest for catalina.jar to look like?

I can see the point of the  NOTICE and LICENSE files as it makes adding the
Tomcat jars to Maven etc easier but they are not required for the standard
Tomcat distributions.
