Yup.

It came from here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/security/manifest.html

 From those are also two Trusted-Only Attribute and Trusted-Library Attribute  which are missing in ITW.


"If the Application-Name attribute is not present in the JAR file manifest, a warning is written ... "

When we implemented  Application-Name we printed it also to stdout/err. Now reproducers are spamming 
"No Application-Name found in manifest"

Thats my point...


Thankx for check!
