10.8.4 Manifest

Both examples in this section have the below incorrect line:

manifest.mainAttributes(Implementation-Title: "Gradle", Implementation-Version: $version)

This is invalid Groovy code because of the '-' in both Implementation-Title and Implementation-Version

When attempting to build, the following error occurs because it's trying to treat Implementation-Title as an expression, instead of as a String.

build_gradle: 11: illegal colon after argument expression;
solution: a complex label expression before a colon must be parenthesized @ line 11, column 34.

The below is all that's needed to correct the example, and is arguably a good practice because you are forcing it to treat the key as a string value.

manifest.mainAttributes("Implementation-Title": "Gradle", "Implementation-Version": $version)

Hmm, looks like I forgot about the other fix I had to make, (which I had corrected in my own usage). The use of $version results in:

build_gradle: 11: unexpected token: $ @ line 11, column 49.

The version(s) that actually work would be:

manifest.mainAttributes("Implementation-Title": "Gradle", "Implementation-Version": "$version")
manifest.mainAttributes("Implementation-Title": "Gradle", "Implementation-Version": version)
