Java Manifest File
 

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know what a java manifest file is and how to create your very own manifest file. Someone please explain this manifest file thing to me in detail as l have no idea as to what a manifest file is and how to create one.

Is is compulsory to have a manifest file when creating a jar file or can i just leave it out?

Someone please explain to me in detail.

Thank you for your patience

Yours Sincerely

Richard West
