I do not know much at all about JMF, only what I've read on the web site
in the last few minutes!
I downloaded the cross-platform distribution and, like you, found no
manifest in the JAR. Is it possible that the platform-specific
performance packs affect this at all? (I did not download any to look.)
Again, speaking mostly from ignorance here, did you try including the
cross-platform jmf.jar in your EAR's library directory, without dealing
with any of the platform-specific bits? If the platform-specifics are
truly performance improvements that take advantage of their respective
operating system features, then this might work.
From a quick search, it seems that there are some features that the
cross-platform distribution does not support. Do you need to use any of
those? (
