Why am I getting a “Missing Application-Name manifest attribute” error when it's in my manifest?

Question

JRE 8U20, I'm getting "Missing Application-Name manifest attribute" when running my application via JNLP. I haven't looked at the console in awhile, so I don't know when this started happening again. Back awhile ago I had similar issues due to manifest issues, but I don't know why it started again as my manifest attributes seem to be in place:

Permissions: all-permissions
Codebase: http://mystuff.mydomain.net
Application-Name: MyApp

Is there something wrong with my manifest?

Answer 1

Webstart appears to need a blank line at the end of the manifest. Adding a carriage return to the end of my manifest data resolved the issue.
