getMainAttributes

public Attributes getMainAttributes()
Returns the main Attributes for the Manifest.

Returns:
the main Attributes for the Manifest

getEntries

public Map<String,Attributes> getEntries()
Returns a Map of the entries contained in this Manifest. Each entry is represented by a String name (key) and associated Attributes (value).

Returns:
a Map of the entries contained in this Manifest

getAttributes

public Attributes getAttributes(String name)
Returns the Attributes for the specified entry name. This method is defined as:
            return (Attributes)getEntries().get(name)

read

public void read(InputStream is)
          throws IOException
Reads the Manifest from the specified InputStream. The entry names and attributes read will be merged in with the current manifest entries.

Parameters:
is - the input stream

IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)
Returns true if the specified Object is also a Manifest and has the same main Attributes and entries.
