  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getMetadataCharset

          @Input
          public String getMetadataCharset()

      The character set used to encode JAR metadata like file names. Defaults to UTF-8. You can change this property but it is not recommended as JVMs expect JAR metadata to be encoded using UTF-8
      Overrides:
        `getMetadataCharset` in class `Zip`
      Returns:
        the character set used to encode JAR metadata like file names
      Since:
        2.14

    - #### setMetadataCharset

          public void setMetadataCharset(String metadataCharset)

      The character set used to encode JAR metadata like file names. Defaults to UTF-8. You can change this property but it is not recommended as JVMs expect JAR metadata to be encoded using UTF-8
      Overrides:
        `setMetadataCharset` in class `Zip`
      Parameters:
        `metadataCharset` - the character set used to encode JAR metadata like file names
      Since:
        2.14

    - #### getManifestContentCharset

          @Input
          @Incubating
          public String getManifestContentCharset()

      The character set used to encode the manifest content. Defaults to UTF-8. You can change this property but it is not recommended as JVMs expect manifests content to be encoded using UTF-8.
      Returns:
        the character set used to encode the manifest content
      Since:
        2.14

    - #### setManifestContentCharset

          @Incubating
          public void setManifestContentCharset(String manifestContentCharset)

      The character set used to encode the manifest content.
      Parameters:
        `manifestContentCharset` - the character set used to encode the manifest content
      Since:
        2.14
      See Also:
        `getManifestContentCharset()`

    - #### getManifest

          public Manifest getManifest()

      Returns the manifest for this JAR archive.
      Returns:
        The manifest

    - #### setManifest

          public void setManifest(Manifest manifest)

      Sets the manifest for this JAR archive.
      Parameters:
        `manifest` - The manifest. May be null.

    - #### manifest

          public Jar manifest(Closure<?> configureClosure)

      Configures the manifest for this JAR archive.

      The given closure is executed to configure the manifest. The `Manifest` is passed to the closure as its delegate.

      Parameters:
        `configureClosure` - The closure.
      Returns:
        This.

    - #### getMetaInf

          public CopySpec getMetaInf()

    - #### metaInf

          public CopySpec metaInf(Closure<?> configureClosure)

      Adds content to this JAR archive's META-INF directory.

      The given closure is executed to configure a `CopySpec`. The `CopySpec` is passed to the closure as its delegate.

      Parameters:
        `configureClosure` - The closure.
      Returns:
        The created `CopySpec`
