This is unnecessary. The Manifest file describes your library, the
config.json controls the generator. This is the right place.

The important thing is the place in config.json where you put it. You need
to put it in jobs that control the generation of your app. These jobs are
usually 'source' and 'build'. So this is where the new key has to go, e.g.

"jobs" : {
 "source" : {
   "add-script" : ...
 },
 "build" : {
   "add-script" : ...
 }

You can check that this was successful by looking into the generated
loader, e.g. source/script/<yourapp>.js. You should see the URL in a map
key similar to "uris-before".

Hm, there is nothing like a job file. Either a file was missing, or a job.

Indeed, having more than one class in a file hides the second to last
class from the generator. That means you will get lots of "Unknown symbol"
warnings during build. Your app might run nonetheless (the code is there
after all), but you are depriving yourself of all the checking and
dependency tracking. So it might just as well break.

I presume you didn't put the 'add-script' key in the job you built your
app with. Check the generated loader.
