Manifest only populated for shadowJar

[jpenilla]

The non-shaded jar does not contain any information in the manifest, as it's only added to shadowJar:

AutoRenamingTool/build.gradle

Line 90 in d363160

manifest.from(MANIFEST)

This is inconvenient when consuming the non-shaded variant of ART.

May I ask what you are doing with the MANIFEST in the unshaded version?

[jpenilla]

I need the Main-Class attribute present to run it without hard coding the main class name. The ART version used is included in mache metadata, we'd prefer not to use the fat jar to allow upgrading the ASM version independently in the future.

[shartte]

How exactly are you planning to use it in that form?

1. If you run a standalone jar with -jar, any additional classpath is ignored
2. If you use Gradle to run it, the classpath configuration of the JavaExec task can only contain a single item

[jpenilla]

You can have a JavaExec with multiple classpath elements, you just need to specify the main class as with java -cp. We determine the default main class by reading the manifests of the classpath jars. If there is more than one Main-Class specified it's an error and needs manual specification.
