Hi Karthick,
If you want to access the manifest file, you could do something like this:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.jar.Manifest;
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.IPortalRuntimeResources;
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntime;
File privateResoucePath = PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getLocation(IPortalRuntimeResources.LT_PRIVATE_RESOURCES);
File parPath = new File ( privateResoucePath, "HelloWorldProject" );  // name - par file name without the ".par" extension);       
if ( parPath.exists()!=false ) {
    try {
        File manifestPath = new File ( parPath, "META-INF" );
        FileInputStream fis = null;
        fis = new FileInputStream(new File(manifestPath, "MANIFEST.MF"));
        Manifest mf = new Manifest(fis);
        java.util.jar.Attributes attr =  mf.getMainAttributes();
        if (attr!=null) {
            return attr.getValue("Specification-Title");
        else {return null;}
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return "ERROR"+e.toString();
META-INF is top level folder.
Hope this helps.
