MANIFEST.MF files are mistakenly interpreted as Metafont files

Hi,

lots of Java projects, especially OSGi- or Eclipse-related ones, contain MANIFEST.MF files that serve as some kind of meta description.

These files should not be detected as Metafont files, but instead as property files.

I noticed the same. Those files should be easy to recognize. Most of them have a name matching MANIFEST*.MF and all of them start with the text Manifest-Version:.

For reference: the format specification is available at as part of the JDK.
