Description w.ankudin

When exporting a simple OSGI Bundle as a jar with a pre written manifest.mf, the exporter strips away the last line of the manifest file. 
i.e if the last line is Import-Package: ... this line will not appear in the exported META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

To have it exported there is a need to add an extra new empty line at the end of the manifest.mf file.

I believe each line has to finish with a line separator even if this is the last line.
Check http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#Manifest%20Specification.
If this is not the case (you are missing the last line separator), this bug would be invalid.
