All current JsInterop-Annotations jar files are missing manifest content.

[Rasmus Olesen]

Hi

Is there a specific reason for the jsinterop-annotations jar files not
containing any manifest files/info/content ?
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.jsinterop/jsinterop-annotations

It might not be needed for the included annotations, but we really need it
for handling jar files during build and deployment.
And isn't it bad practice to release jar files without a manifest?

Best Regards
/Rasmus

This is just a side-effect of how they're
produced: https://gwt.googlesource.com/gwt/+/2.8.2/maven/lib-gwt.sh#93

Bad practice? No idea. Not that I know.
In all honesty, I've never ever used JAR manifests, except in a few cases
with a Main-Class.

Feel free (and invited!) to contribute a patch to the scripts to ensure a
manifest is present in all JARs.
