Class Attributes

java.lang.Object
java.util.jar.Attributes
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Map<Object,Object>
public class Attributes extends Object implements Map<Object,Object>, Cloneable
The Attributes class maps Manifest attribute names to associated string values. Valid attribute names are case-insensitive, are restricted to the ASCII characters in the set [0-9a-zA-Z_-], and cannot exceed 70 characters in length. There must be a colon and a SPACE after the name; the combined length will not exceed 72 characters. Attribute values can contain any characters and will be UTF8-encoded when written to the output stream. See the JAR File Specification for more information about valid attribute names and values.

This map and its views have a predictable iteration order, namely the order that keys were inserted into the map, as with LinkedHashMap.

1.2
