Yea, it's on our TODO list..

https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-48

Exactly how is not worked out yet tho. If you want to prototype/contribute to it, your very welcome. 

SHRINKWRAP-48 is related, but more addresses the easy addition/mutation of the manifest.

The JAR tool, for instance, automatically creates MANIFEST.MF when using -c.

Looks like our default action should be to do the same, if/when the archive is represented as(JavaArchive.class), else not?

Dig it.  Should also be in the JavaDocs of these aggregate views.

Please open up a JIRA Feature Request.

Hi,

I've created a ManifestAsset class that you can find on github:

https://github.com/DavideD/shrinkwrap/blob/SHRINKDESC-15/api/src/main/java/org/jboss/shrinkwrap/api/asset/ManifestAsset.java

Using it right now is possible to add all the main attributes in a JAR Manifest.

I did it for work and because I wanted to try git but I would be happy to contribute to the project and change whatever you think is wrong.

Thanks for the great work,

Davide
