Where should the following entities live, in manifest.xml (read only after the artifact has been released) or metadata.xml (can be updated at any time after artifact has been released, but with possibility for abuse)?
- a short description of what the archive is and/or what its purpose is
- purpose-description describes the purpose of the application/artifact
- title-description & icon for application name and icon
- help@uri for help system
- a list of build-time dependencies upon which the archive relies as specification name (and optionally specification version, vendor, implementation name, version, vendor)
- a list of run-time dependencies upon which the archive relies as specification name (and optionally specification version, vendor, implementation name, version, vendor)
- the names of and the links to the archive license, change log, bugs, readme, authors.xml, todo list, changes and generic pointers to other documentation-related files
- archive version information
- the package information similiar to that of the manifest.mf file
