Method Detail

getMainAttributes

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

getEntries

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

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
Throws:
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.
Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
o - the object to be compared

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns the hash code for this Manifest.
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Tags copied from class: Object
Returns:
a hash code value for this object.
