Hmm, Application-Name? I just looked over the JAR File Specification and did not 
find this header specified. I am sorry if I am missing something here but I do 
not get the reason why this header needs to be included. Well, on the other hand 
the Java manifest parser has been tolerant of non-specification headers so far. 
This might change since the specification does not mention anything about 
user-defined headers.

Long story short, can you please explain the Application-Name header?
