Description

Creates a manifest file.

This task can be used to write a Manifest file, optionally replacing or updating an existing file.

Manifests are processed according to the Jar file specification.. Specifically, a manifest element consists of a set of attributes and sections. These sections in turn may contain attributes. Note in particular that this may result in manifest lines greater than 72 bytes being wrapped and continued on the next line.
