Description Fabrice Matrat

The maximum length of a line in the Manifest is 72 characters. If a jar need to be split over two lines the next line should have a white space. If a jar finish at the end of a line the next line should start with two whitespaces.
If the next line start with a character it means, it's the next item and CLASS-Path is finished.

A full explanation of the way to read the Class-Path can be found for example at 
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=364938

I attached a Unit test with some values and the fix I did in ClassPathJar.jar.
I already integrated the bug 251079 for the \r.

I don't know what we should do with an empty declaration of Class-Path.

See my changes attached and a unit test with it.
