CAP File Manifest File Syntax

One of the files generated by the Converter is the CAP file. The CAP file utilizes the JAR file format, and contains a set of components which describe a Java package. In addition to the components, the CAP file also contains the manifest file: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. The manifest file provides additional human-readable information regarding the contents of the CAP file and the package that it represents. This information can be used to facilitate the distribution and processing of the CAP file.

The information in the manifest file is presented in name:value pairs. These name:value pairs are described in TABLE 38.
