<jar basedir=”${wherever}”
jarfile=”${myjar}”>
<manifest>
<attribute name=”Some-Attribute”
value=”some value”/>
<attribute name=”Some-Other-Attribute”
value=”some other value”/>
</manifest>
</jar>

and forget about the gory details ;-)

He, too, dishes on Properties: http://www.artima.com/intv/blochP.html Secondly, Cameron "Peace" Purdy spewing bile on "idiot interfaces" including Cloneable. He makes some thought-provoking points. http://jroller.com/cpurdy/entry/the_seven_habits_of_highly2 This is only tangentially related, but here are a couple of articles I’ve been reading about API design and anti-patterns:

It has some similarly weird behaviors and APIs. I've actually blogged on it before deep in the past. Down with java.util.Properties! Oh, I hate Properties with a passion.
