• getManifest

  public static java.util.jar.Manifest getManifest()
                                            throws java.lang.Exception

  Get the JAR Manifest associated with this P4Java instance, if it exists. The interpretation of the attributes in this manifest is not defined here and will depend on how the jar was built; for a full list of normal Perforce release build attributes, contact support, but in general, most of the normal Maven build attributes will probably exist, as will Name.IMPLEMENTATION_TITLE and Name.IMPLEMENTATION_VERSION (but this is not guaranteed).

  Returns:

  non-null Manifest object if it exists and is retrievable.

  Throws:

  java.lang.Exception - if the manifest can't be found or retrieved for any reason.
