Jdeveloper version - 12.2.1.0.0
The current project of mine is migrated from Jdeveloper 11.1.2.2.0 to Jdeveloper 12.2.1.0.0
I have an application with multiple EJB projects, each of which are deployed to a JAR. I have created a manifest file in a separate custom project to get the count of java and non-java files. In my Manifest Project Property à Dependencies block, I have added the EJB project and have selected the DesignerMig_testEJB_ejb option.

Now when I rebuild and run the manifest file to generate the manifest information I get the below error
