Description

For now, we cannot use custom manifest in JAR file, but it is possible and useful (for example, when writing a Java agent).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the Meson Java module source, locate the jar() function or related code, and understand how manifests are currently handled. Then add support for a custom manifest file parameter.
