[jira] Commented: (MJAR-39) Maven Sets Manifest Attribute Values to Multi-Line Strings

["Steven Coco (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Steven Coco commented on MJAR-39:
---------------------------------

This issue is related to MJAR-39 in that since it sets the Specification-Title element by default to the POM's <description> element, it easily can create an invalid Manifest.

>      Maven will set a Manifest attribute's value to a multi-line string, which results in an invalid Manifest.
>      By default, on its own, Maven adds a Specification-Title attribute to the Manifest, and sets its value to the POM's <description> element.  If this is a multi-line value in the POM, Maven will insert it unchanged: and yield an invalid Manifest.  Maven then can't even load the jar that it just created itself!
>      I have filed another bug relating to the fact that it should not insert such an attribute by default: MJAR-38
