[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-50?page=comments#action_70342 ] Mike Laurie commented on MJAR-50: ---------------------------------
Plexus are aware of this issue and it will get fixed there (PLX-185). I guess this issue doesn't need any more attention, so despite the fact that it's not actually fixed and released yet, I'm confident it's being addressed elsewhere. I'd be happy to close it. > "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 > Issue Type: Bug > Affects 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()?"
