Manifest

interface Manifest

Represents the manifest file of a JAR file.

Functions

attributes	`abstract fun attributes(attributes: MutableMap<String, >): Manifest` Adds content to the main attributes of the manifest. `abstract fun attributes(attributes: MutableMap<String, >, sectionName: String): Manifest` Adds content to the given section of the manifest.
from	`abstract fun from(vararg mergePath: Any): Manifest` Specifies other manifests to be merged into this manifest. A merge path can either be another instance of org.gradle.api.java.archives.Manifest or a file path as interpreted by `org.gradle.api.Project#files(Object...)`. The merge is not happening instantaneously. It happens either before writing or when `#getEffectiveManifest()` is called. `abstract fun from(mergePath: Any, closure: Closure<*>): Manifest` Specifies other manifests to be merged into this manifest. A merge path is interpreted as described in `#from(Object...)`. The merge is not happening instantaneously. It happens either before writing or when `#getEffectiveManifest()` is called. The closure configures the underlying org.gradle.api.java.archives.ManifestMergeSpec.
getAttributes	`abstract fun getAttributes(): Attributes` Returns the main attributes of the manifest.
getEffectiveManifest	`abstract fun getEffectiveManifest(): Manifest` Returns a new manifest instance where all the attribute values are expanded (e.g. their toString method is called). The returned manifest also contains all the attributes of the to be merged manifests specified in `#from(Object...)`.
getSections	`abstract fun getSections(): MutableMap<String, Attributes>` Returns the sections of the manifest (excluding the main section).
writeTo	`abstract fun writeTo(path: Any): Manifest` Writes the manifest into a file. The path's are resolved as defined by `org.gradle.api.Project#files(Object...)` The manifest will be encoded using the character set defined by the `org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar#getManifestContentCharset()` property.
