Benjamin Bentmann commented on SUREFIRE-451:
--------------------------------------------
bq. so maybe there was a good reason for it...?
The old story, where is documentation when one needs it ;-) ?
bq. java.util.jar.Manifest creates a manifest with TWO final newlines
Which is in conformance with the [Manifiest
Specification|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html#Manifest%20Specification]
given the case, that the manifest contains no "individual-sections".
> ManifestJarWriter should use java.util.jar.Manifest

> ManifestJarWriter manages writing the manifest by hand, including wrapping
> lines, etc. etc. This code was copied from plexus-archiver when we stopped
> depending on plexus-archiver.
> But AFAIK there's no reason to do that by hand; java.util.jar.Manifest can
> take care of all of that for us. Still, it's creepy that they did all of
> that work, so maybe there was a good reason for it...?
