I am not so sure. Aren't multiline attributes ('continuations') allowed in
Manifest files? See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html
Have you guys tried to force using the plexus-archiver 1.0-alpha-6? That's
where the fix for PLX-185 went in.
> Maven Sets Manifest Attribute Values to Multi-Line Strings

> Maven will set a Manifest attribute's value to a multi-line string,
> which results in an invalid Manifest.
> By default, on its own, Maven adds a Specification-Title attribute to
> the Manifest, and sets its value to the POM's <description> element. If this
> is a multi-line value in the POM, Maven will insert it unchanged: and yield
> an invalid Manifest. Maven then can't even load the jar that it just created
> itself!
> I have filed another bug relating to the fact that it should not insert
> such an attribute by default: MJAR-38
