Added the following entry to the Connector/J 5.1.33 changelog: "The MANIFEST.MF file for the JAR package of Connector/J included an empty line between the attributes Import-Package and Name, which was interpreted as a mark for the end of the main section of the manifest file. This fix removes the empty line."
Description: The MANIFEST.MF file includes an empty line between attributes Import-Package and Name. According to the JAR File Specification, empty lines mark end of sections. So this line is incorrectly interpreted as separating the main section (Manifest-Version to Import-Package) from an individual section (Name to Implementation-Vendor). How to repeat: With the invalid line, the following prints "null". After fixing, it will print "MySQL Connector Java". JarFile jar = new JarFile("/path/to/mysql-connector-java-5.1.31-bin.jar"); System.out.println(jar.getManifest().getMainAttributes().getValue("Implementation-Title")); jar.close(); Suggested fix: Remove empty line between Import-Package and Name.
