Olivier Lamy closed MNG-2542.
-----------------------------
Assignee: Olivier Lamy
Resolution: Fixed
I close it because CR are now removed and tab is a legal value in a manifest
value.
Whatever I have added a unit for CR values in rev 604400.
> Remove carriage returns and tabs from field values in the manifest file

> When creating a JAR Manfiest, maven needs to remove CR and Tabs from the
> description taken from the POM.
> This is a critical issue with JAR files created from Maven. The issue is
> that Maven can create a MANIFEST file for a JAR, but it creates an invalid
> manifest if you jsut happen to have a description in your POM like thi:
> <description>
> this is an library for idiots
> </description>
> The issue is that your description element has new line characters and thejar
> plugin just take those new line characters and blindly copies them into the
> Manfiest, creating an invalid Manifest. This doesn't show up until you try
> to use the JAR in another application. Then you get a very cryptic error
> message about having an invalid jar.
> This used to be 1247 but it was closed and marked as Won't Fix with no
> explanation as to why it isn't worth fixing.
