So it looks like we can use Gradle to add properties to manifest file and then use getResourceAsStream to read the file and parse it.
The Gradle part would be something like: jar.manifest { attributes('Implementation-Title': project.name, 'Implementation-Version': project.version, 'Built-By': System.getProperty('user.name'), 'Built-JDK': System.getProperty('java.version'), 'Built-Host': getHostname(), 'Source-Compatibility': project.sourceCompatibility, 'Target-Compatibility': project.targetCompatibility ) } The code part would be: this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF") Does that look like the right approach?
