Is there a way to insert a comment line in the manifest of a jar file?

You can always use a keyword like X-JENS-COMMENT, and then put your comment in the value.

Use a wording which is certain not to collide with anything Sun could come up with :)

The manifest specification does not describe any method for writing comments into the manifest, so I believe not.
