Cedric has the point, good article.
It also depends from the environment and configuration, in my projects I usually do the following to simply get the Manifest contents:

InputStream is = servletContext.getResourceAsStream("META-INF/MANIFEST.MF");

And then

Properties properties = new Properties(); 
properties.load(is);
String buildNumber = properties.getProperty("BuildNumber");

or

Manifest manifest = new Manifest(is);
manifest.get...
