jira-importer opened a new issue, #668: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-indexer/issues/668
**[Emeric Werner](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=JIRAUSER305687)** opened **[MINDEXER-225](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINDEXER-225?redirect=false)** and commented The indexer-reader RecordCompactor and RecordExpander classes separate individual entries of the `classNames` entry using the field separator `|` (see https://github.com/apache/maven-indexer/blob/87627e0e797c1b3cc5bb5f007b94b0371b97f7e0/indexer-reader/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/index/reader/RecordExpander.java#L212 ). However, the JarFileContentsIndexCreator class in indexer-core uses newlines (`\n`) as a separator between classes as seen in https://github.com/apache/maven-indexer/blob/87627e0e797c1b3cc5bb5f007b94b0371b97f7e0/indexer-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/index/creator/JarFileContentsIndexCreator.java#L166 . The behaviour of indexer-core with it's JarFileContentsIndexCreator is the behaviour I am empirically seeing in the wild with sample nexus-maven-repository-index.gz files. Of course, one can still pass all the contents in a String whose elements were joined with the newline character ahead of time - but at that point it makes little sense why a String array needs to be passed as Record's value as it will almost always be a String-array of size 1 anyways (on a similar note, the documentation states that the `classNames` entry stores a value of type java.util.List\<String>, but that is incorrect - it is a String[]). --- **Affects:** 7.1.3 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
