Jochen Wiedmann commented on MJAR-39: ------------------------------------- Steve, I can confirm that I can reproduce the problem with maven 2.0.4 and your second zip file. I have checked, and maven 2.0.4 is indeed using plexus-archiver-1.0-alpha-3, which *does* add carriage returns and line feeds to the manifest value, thus producing invalid manifest entries. The plexus-archiver doesn't, as of 1.0-alpha-4. I have also verified, that version 2.1-SNAPSHOT of the maven-jar-plugin uses version 2.0.1 of the maven-archiver, which in turn uses plexus-archiver-1.0-alpha-4. In other words, the problem can be fixed by adding <version>2.1-SNAPSHOT</version> to the maven-jar-plugins configuration. (Which I have verified successfully.) I recommend, that this issue be closed, which I cannot do. > Maven Sets Manifest Attribute Values to Multi-Line Strings > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MJAR-39 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-39 > Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin > Type: Bug > Versions: 2.0 > Environment: Maven version: 2.0.4 > Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] > Reporter: Steven Coco > Attachments: Jar Specification-Title Tester.zip, MJAR-39.patch, Multiline > Manifest Value Bug Tester 2.zip > > > 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.
