I assume your point in using a 1.4 version of the docs is to indicate how long this information has been documented in the standard reference.

Amazing what the documentation can reveal if one were *ACTUALLY TO READ IT*.

I do think one should link to current versions of the docs most of the time, though.  For example, 
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/downman.html>

No matter how long you've been programming in Java, the tutorials are valuable and for such elementary questions make a great starting point.

For the "main attributes" of the JAR manifest that you linked, that current version seems to be
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html#Main%20Attributes

I encourage everyone to read the documentation.

Repeatedly.  Reviewing the basics is necessary.

You don't have to be a "language lawyer" (whatever the F that is) to read the JLS.
