The documentation says you can have multiple Class-Path entries in
a Manifest file, e.g.

Class-Path: mail.jar
Class-Path: activation.jar

but this doesn't work. Only the last Class-Path header seems to be used.
Instead, you have to do this

Class-Path: mail.jar activation.jar

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I specify 2 jar files in my manifest file as follows:

Class-Path: area.jar<^>
     .
     .
 <many class paths><^>
     .
     .
Class-Path: servlet.jar<^>EOF


Note:<^> means white-space

the manifest.mf in the jar file only contains the last
Class-Path statement.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.create a manifest and include the 2 or more Class-Path
  statements
1.5 back up your manifest file
2. creat a jar include this manifest file in it.
3. open the manifest file in the jar (using WINZIP32.exe,
etc.) and compare to your back-up version.

Note: each jar file name is <= 70 chars

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :

According to:

  
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ext/basics/download.html


" More about the Class-Path Header
If an applet or application uses more than one extension,
you can list multiple URLs in a manifest. For example, the
following is a valid header:
Class-Path: area.jar servlet.jar images/

In the Class-Path header any URLs listed that don't end
with '/' are assumed to be JAR files. URLs ending in '/'
indicate directories. In the preceding example, images/
might be a directory containing resources needed by the
applet or the application.
You can also specify multiple extension URLs by using more
than one Class-Path header in the manifest. For example:

Class-Path: area.jar
Class-Path: servlet.jar

Download extensions can be "daisy chained", meaning that
the manifest of one download extension can have a Class-
Path header that refers to a second extension, which can
refer to a third extension, and so on. "

It should be possible to have multiple Class-Path:
in manifest file.


ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :

No error messages

This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :

Work around is to include ALL jars on one Class-Path:
