Bug#669131: openjdk-6-jdk: jar(1) manual page refers to unofficial URL for manifest spec

 

Package: openjdk-6-jdk
Version: 6b24-1.11.1-5
Severity: minor

The manual page reads (15%):

    DESCRIPTION

       ...

       In this example, all the class files in the current directory are
       placed into the file named myFile.jar. The jar tool automatically
       generates a manifest file entry named META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. It is
       always the first entry in the jar file. The manifest file declares
       meta-information about the ar‐ chive, and stores that data as name :
       value pairs. Refer to the JAR file specification @
>>     http://ccc.sfbay/guide/jar/jar.html#JAR%20Manifest for details
       explaining how the jar tool stores meta-information in the manifest
       file.
