According to the javadoc, java.util.jar.Attributes.put(Object name,
Object value) should throw ClassCastException if the name is not an
Attributes.Name or the value is not a String . JDK 1.2-fcs,
however, doesn't implement this feature.

A test example which demonstrates this problem.
===== Test18.java ========
import java.util.jar.Attributes;

public class Test18 {

    public static void main (String argv[]) {
        Attributes attr = new Attributes();
        String s = "SomeValue";
    
        try {
            attr.put("SomeName", s);
            System.out.println("Failed: ClassCastException excpected");
            return;
        } catch (ClassCastException cce) { //OKAY
        }
        try {
            attr.put( new Attributes.Name("SomeName"), s.getBytes()) ;
            System.out.println("Failed: ClassCastException excpected");
            return;
        } catch (ClassCastException cce) { //OKAY
        }
        System.out.println("Passed: OK");
        return;
    }
}
