Java Program to Implement Attribute API

This Java program is to Implement Attributes API.The Attributes class maps Manifest attribute names to associated string values. Valid attribute names are case-insensitive, are restricted to the ASCII characters in the set [0-9a-zA-Z_-], and cannot exceed 70 characters in length. Attribute values can contain any characters and will be UTF8-encoded when written to the output stream.

Here is the source code of the Java program to Implement Attributes API. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
