Hi,

I use JBOSS EAP 4.3.0，I have found that in server/default/jar(or other like this),so many 3rd jars has repackage with jboss,

I found these infomation in jar/META-INF/ :

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Specification-Title: JBoss

Created-By: ari-49095-20050826-1856-linux-ia32 (BEA Systems, Inc.)

Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5

Implementation-Title: JBoss [EAP]

Specification-Vendor: JBoss (http://www.jboss.org/)

Specification-Version: 4.3.0.GA

Implementation-Vendor-Id: http://www.jboss.org/

Implementation-Version: 4.3.0.GA (build: SVNTag=JBPAPP_4_3_0_GA date=2

00801031548)

Implementation-Vendor: JBoss Inc.

I am wonder why jboss repackage this jars?

Has it some change from original jars?

e.g. /jboss-as/server/default/lib/log4j.jar
