The jar tool documentation describes the jar file manifest
format as "inspired by RFC822 ASCII format", but fails to mention that
the values of manifest attributes are actually encoded in UTF-8. This
feature, important for internationalization, should be documented in
the jar tool documentation (it is mentioned in the jar file
specification,
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#JAR%20Manifest).
