-------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: maven-archiver-2.5
Assignee: Kristian Rosenvold
Plexus-archiver 2.1 uses the jdk manifest class, which barfs loudly about
illegal attributes
> Archiver should validate manifest attribute names.

>
> I noticed that the jar plugin and maven archiver will allow you to use an
> invalid attribute name in your manifest. According the jar specification,
> attribute names can only contain letters, numbers, dash, or underscore [1].
> Currently if you put an attribute name like "my.attribute" in the manifest
> configuration of the jar plugin, the attribute will be added to your jar
> manifest. If you then try to use this jar file in your classpath, for
> example as a dependency of another project, you will get a compilation error:
> [INFO] Compilation failure
> error: error reading
> /home/me/.m2/repository/org/company/my-project/1.0-SNAPSHOT/my-project-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar;
> invalid header field name: my.attribute
> The archiver or the jar plugin should do a regex check to make sure that you
> are using a valid attribute name. And if not, a warning or error should be
> produced.
