The tutorial is not the only mention of multiple Class-Path entries. Check out
the extension spec

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/extensions/spec.html#bundled

It contains this text "Multiple Class-Path headers may be specified, and are
combined sequentially."

While I would prefer to stick strictly to the jar spec, I do not believe Sun has
been consistent enough to do so. It may even be due to some systems failing to
process continuation lines correctly - don't know. I don't think the jar command
line tool has historically done very much manifest checking, which probably has
not helped.

Given the current situation, I think support for multiple Class-Path headers is
required. 

There are a few options though - a warning about multiple entries and possibly
producing a single output Class-Path could be done.

Please refer to this bug report for more info
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4683

I'll mark as WONTFIX for now, but please feel free to reopen and discuss
