OSGi deployment manifest file

A deployment manifest file, META-INF/DEPLOYMENT.MF, is created automatically when you import an EBA asset. The deployment manifest file lists, at specific versions, all the bundles and composite bundles that make up the application, including bundles that are determined following dependency analysis. The manifest file is used to ensure that each time an application server starts, the bundles that make up the application are the same.

You can export the current deployment manifest file from an enterprise bundle archive (EBA) asset. You might want to do this to save the information, or to import it into another identical application.
Note: Do not edit an exported manifest file. Only use the export and import options in situations where you can treat the exported file as a "black box".
