Description

In my project, I set a custom value in the manifest via the Maven JAR plugin:

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>3.2.0</version>
   <configuration>
      <archive>
         <manifestEntries>
            <Multi-Release>true</Multi-Release>
         </manifestEntries>
         <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor>
      </archive>
   </configuration>
</plugin>

When using the Maven Bundle Plugin 4.2.1, the multi-release entry will be in the final manifest:

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>4.2.1</version>
   <extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>

However, when updating the Maven Bundle Plugin to the latest version 5.1.1, the multi-release entry will be removed from the final manifest.
