  Description: edit an existing jar file.
Extract files found in the META-INF directory of the jar.
Update the archive specifying the META-INF directory.
jar reports META-INF/MANIFEST.MF "ignored" but is actually deleted from the
archive.

Below is command line sequence which may be used to recreate the issue.

(Note: when jar with missing manifest is added to *.EAR file the J2EE reference
implementation deploytool refuses to process the file.)
