In my understanding there are these four possibilities:
- Console applications: doesn't need a manifest
- SWT applications: Are forced to use the manifest since v3.2 by SWT
- AWT/Swing applications: Currently uses swingWT which uses SWT, so see 
above
- AWT/Swing with classpath: will use GTK, so no need for a manifest (I'm 
not sure on that one)

So I think this is currently more a SWT than a javaCompiler concern. But 
you're welcome to tell me the opposite...
