If you have a look at the manifest-spec [1], you'll see
newline : CR LF | LF | CR (not followed by LF)
So the use of the windows line ending CR-LF is valid - on Unix, too.
There's some more history on this in one of the bugs (sent to me as part
of a discussion with the Java EE spec lead on the topic)
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4842483
The RFC 822 spec (on which the Manifest spec is based) states:
Each header field may be represented on exactly one line con-
sisting of the name of the field and its body, and terminated
by a CRLF; this is what the parser sees. For readability, the
field-body portion of long header fields may be "folded" onto
multiple lines of the actual field. "Long" is commonly inter-
preted to mean greater than 65 or 72 characters. The former
length serves as a limit, when the message is to be viewed on
most simple terminals which use simple display software; how-
ever, the limit is not imposed by this standard.
This implies that CRLF is what we should be producing. Yes manifests suck.
