Dennis Lundberg commented on MJAR-50:
-------------------------------------

This is with a two-line <description> in the pom, second line starting with a 
tab character.

Using no configuration options I don't see the "Specification-Title" attribute 
in the manifest at all.

Using this configuration:
        <configuration>
          <archive>
            <manifestEntries>
              <Specification-Title>${pom.description}</Specification-Title>
            </manifestEntries>
          </archive>
        </configuration>
gives me this error message:
  "Embedded error: The attribute "Specification-Title" may not occur more than 
once in the same section"
which is strange considering that it wasn't there in the first example.

Using this configuration:
        <configuration>
          <archive>
            <manifestEntries>
              <custom>${pom.description}</custom>
            </manifestEntries>
          </archive>
        </configuration>
gives me the same error as above.

So I've had no luck in reproducing the problem reported in this issue, but 
might have discovered another one...

> I typed a <description> element into my pom; the description spanned 2 lines,

> The project built correctly, but another project depended on the resulting

> 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!):

>     public String consolidateWhitespace(String input){
>         StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(input);

>         while (st.hasMoreTokens()){
>             rv.append(st.nextToken() + (st.hasMoreTokens()?" ":""));
>         }
>         return rv.toString();
>     }
> {code}
