Dennis Lundberg commented on MNG-3551:
--------------------------------------
The MANIFEST.MF file you mention is following the JAR file specification at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#Notes%20on%20Manifest%20and%20Signature%20Files
{quote}
* Line length:
No line may be longer than 72 bytes (not characters), in its UTF8-encoded form.
If a value would make the initial line longer than this, it should be continued
on extra lines (each starting with a single SPACE).
{quote}
May I suggest that you file a bug for the software that is unable to read such
a manifest.

> The MANIFEST.MF file in commons-attributes-api 2.2 has some bad line breaks
> that prevent applications that use it from working.
> From http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=31092 :
> There seems to be a malformed MANIFEST.MF in the
> commons-attributes-compiler.jar library. You should unpack the library (with
> winzip or whatever), repair the MANIFEST.MF file there, so that the lines
> that have been dropped to the second line and added an empty space to the
> beginning, are rejoined to the line above them, without the empty space, and
> then pack the jar file again (with winzip or whatever and rename as .jar, not
> .zip).
> The suggested fix does work - can you fix the copy in the repository? Thanks!
