java.lang.Object
- java.util.jar.Attributes

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Map<Object,Object>
```
public class Attributes
extends Object
implements Map<Object,Object>, Cloneable
```
The Attributes class maps Manifest attribute names to associated string values. Valid attribute names are case-insensitive, are restricted to the ASCII characters in the set [0-9a-zA-Z_-], and cannot exceed 70 characters in length. Attribute values can contain any characters and will be UTF8-encoded when written to the output stream. See the JAR File Specification for more information about valid attribute names and values.

Since:

1.2
