Thorsten Möller commented on MJAR-96:
-------------------------------------
Well, at the time I spotted this issue (more than one year ago) my
configuration most probably was WinXP SP2, Java 1.5.14(?), Maven 2.0.9, and the
latest jar plugin released at that time.
I can't verify it any better today because I don't use the maven
retrotranslator plugin anymore. However, checking if this bug still exists with
the recent version shouldn't be that difficult, just add a linebreak in the
description text in a pom and see if the jar manifest will have the linebreak
as well.

> Key: MJAR-96
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-96
> Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Windows. Seems that the bug does not appear on Linux.
> Reporter: Thorsten Möller
> Priority: Minor
>
> Consider the following pom.xml (excerpt)
> <groupId>mygroup</groupId>
> <artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
> <version>2.0</version>
> <packaging>jar</packaging>
> <name>My Name</name>
> <description>This is the first line of my project description
> and this is another line, which is on this line because it was formated this
> way (for whatever reason).</description>
> Such a non-single-line description ends up in the MANIFEST.MF file containing
> line breaks. This might cause exceptions (by other tools) when the manifest
> file is processed. In particular, the Retrotranslator Maven plugin throws a
> IOException if it tries to write a translated JAR based on such a corrupted
> MANIFEST file.
> Make sure, to remove line breaks that result from the XML (and other
> whitespace) in order not to cause such (very hard to find) problems, i.e.,
> make sure that all properties in the MANIFEST.MF do not spread over multple
> lines.
