Description Marek Fukala 2005-03-17 10:06:42 UTC 
When an user has an enterprise application project with some web/ejb modules
which contains  libraries, then, when the EAR project is built, some Class-path
element for these librarieas are generated during the build. User cannot add
these elements by hand because they are replaced with the generated ones during
the build.

The problem is caused by an ant task <manifest/> which with its attribute update
set to true merges an existing manifest with new entries. However if there is an
attribute in the existing manifest file and the some attribute is about to be
added into the old one is replaced.

This issue should be adressed in next release. Not time for this now.
Comment 3 Marek Fukala 2005-10-13 10:57:49 UTC 
Not easy to fix - I would probably have to create a custom task for merging the
manifest items.
Comment 4 Petr Jiricka 2006-07-31 16:40:56 UTC 
Sounds like an enhancement request, not a DEFECT. Changing to ENHANCEMENT.
Comment 5 Martin Krauskopf 2006-09-11 16:29:42 UTC 
J2EE team support ends, thus returning the issue back.
Comment 6 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:56:26 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
