## Class Specification

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.extension.Specification

-     public final class Specification
      extends java.lang.Object

  Utility class that represents either an available "Optional Package" (formerly known as "Standard Extension") as described in the manifest of a JAR file, or the requirement for such an optional package.

  For more information about optional packages, see the document Optional Package Versioning in the documentation bundle for your Java2 Standard Edition package, in file `guide/extensions/versioning.html`.
