    Description

      Some library we're using (namely xdb, from the oracle XDK) doesn't have any manifest file.
      This makes InstallPluginsMojo crash because it seems to consider jars always have a manifest.

      After checking the Jar File Specification (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jar/jar.html), as the whole META-INF is optional, it's legal for a Jar to not have a manifest.

      Cheers.
