JDK-6722527 - Need manifest for every exe file in jre/bin directory
Description
This RFE is an extended case of CR 6722527. We should take into further consideration of having a manifest file (that defines the execution level)  for every executable file under jdk/bin. 
This is basically the same requirement as CR 6722527  but for *.exe under jdk/bin
This is reproducable when installed from 1.6.0_12 b01 pit JDK binary.
Note the JRE file passed with all files signed/w/manifest.  Only the
JDK install laid down bad files.  This was on windows XP 32 bit, SP3

Comments
EVALUATION Randy has marked this as a fix failed, which is valid. I don't think any of these files need to be signed, so that part of the report I don't agree with. I think these are the 3 remaining issues: [2008-11-05T18:07:45.66] File found w/o manifest: ./bin/jvisualvm.exe [2008-11-05T18:10:04.73] File found w/o manifest: ./jre/lib/launcher.exe [2008-11-05T18:10:04.73] File found w/o manifest: ./lib/visualvm/platform7/lib/nbexec.exe The 2 visualvm.exe and nbexec.exe are actually binary files in the workspace that we have no control over. I've asked the visualVM team to deliver new .exe's. So far, they've only delivered the jvisualvm.exe, which I've integrated into 6u12-b02. I'm waiting on them to give me a nbexec.exe. I'll also look into the jre/lib/launcher.exe issue.

EVALUATION The additional work in the deploy ws was for packager and HTMLConverter. We don't own the visualvm .exe, so I've asked that team to deliver a new binary with a manifest. It should be low risk.

EVALUATION The majority of the work has already been done for this. See 6722527. The fix would involve putting a BUILD_MANIFEST=true in some jdk exe Makefiles
