Unable to read informations from manifest

dastraub Sep 24, 2011 11:05 PM

In our application we need some information about loaded classe, e.g. getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion().

This attributes were created during the build (maven).

At runtime, all attributes in the manifest are null.

This should have been fixed in 7.0.2, if I remember correctly.

Still not fixed in 7.0.2 nor in 7.1.0.CR1b. Probably reported as AS7-1970.

I see myself forced to this workaround:

URL jarUrl = MyClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();
VirtualFile jarFile = VFS.getChild(jarUrl.toURI());
Manifest manifest = VFSUtils.getManifest(jarFile);
Attributes attributes = manifest.getMainAttributes();
String implementationVersion = attributes.getValue(Name.IMPLEMENTATION_VERSION);

Why should we use a proprietary API and therefore add unecccessary dependencies for a "standard" Java SDK function ?
