Mike Laurie commented on MJAR-50: --------------------------------- Sorry - in the middle of that description, I meant to say: "Note that the full description is trimmed before going into the manifest (I think), so any leading or trailing tabs don't seem recreate the problem." > "Invalid Header" in jar's Manifest (Specification-Title attribute) when tab > char in pom Description > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MJAR-50 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-50 > Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin > Type: Bug > Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Mike Laurie > Priority: Trivial > > > I typed a <description> element into my pom; the description spanned 2 lines, > and my text editor put a tab char at the beginning of the 2nd line. > The project built correctly, but another project depended on the resulting > jar. > The compilation of the depending project failed with "invalid header" on the > jar I'd just compiled. > When I looked at the jar's manifest, I saw the Specification-Title attribute > had the tab character still in it from the <description> element. > Replacing the tab with spaces in the pom solved the problem. > However, this was valid xml that caused a compilation problem, so I think > it's a minor bug with the jar production code. > Note that the full description is trimmed before going into the manifest, so > any > Easy to work around, but it would be nice if whitespace in the <description> > element were consolidated into spaces before copying to the manifest. > Doesn't need any fancy layout stuff - just any multiple instances of tabs, > spaces, lf or cr should be replaced by a single space. > Try (I haven't tried to compile this!): > {code} > public String consolidateWhitespace(String input){ > StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(input); > StringBuffer rv = new StringBuffer(); > while (st.hasMoreTokens()){ > rv.append(st.nextToken() + (st.hasMoreTokens()?"
