Hi Sean

Please review my code changes:

   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/7004035/webrev.00/

After this change, MANIFEST.MF's getSigners() and getCertificates() will 
be not null. Since every signer of the jar file has a hash of the 
manifest header, I regard all of them as signers of MANIFEST.MF.

The code changes also include a small change to JarSigner:

When -verbose:grouped is specified, jar entries with similar characters 
are grouped together. However, I still don't want to group a .SF (or 
.RSA) file and a normal unsigned entry (say, a class file added after 
jar signed) together. Thus I substitute the first letter of the label 
with "-" to distinguish between signature-related entries and the 
others. Now that MANIFEST can also be signed, its first letter is "s". 
Therefore I simply prefix the "-" before the label.

concisejarsigner.sh test is also updated, since the number of signed 
files is changed.

Thanks
Max

=== *Description* 
============================================================
If a jar file has only META-INF/MANIFEST.SF, then after signing it, the 
output jarfile is not verifiable. That is to say, running "jarsigner 
-verify the.jar" shows "jar is unsigned. (signatures missing or not 
parsable)".

How to reproduce it:

echo "Key: Value" > manifest
jar cvfm the.jar manifest
jarsigner the.jar me
jarsigner -verify the.jar

* Use the "jar m" trick to create a jar file with no "normal" entry.

=== *Evaluation* 
=============================================================
The reason is that during the verification of the jarfile, the JarEntry 
for the MANIFEST.MF is treated differently from other entries, and its 
signers (or certificates) is not assigned. When JarSigner see no entry 
with any signer, it believes the file is not signed.

=== *Suggested Fix* 
==========================================================
Also assign signers to MANIFEST.MF. Since every SF includes a 
*-Digest-Manifest-Main-Attributes digest and it;s always verified 
against the MANIFEST.MF headers, we believe the signers for MANIFEST.MF 
should includes all signers in the file.
