[jira] Commented: (MJAR-102) Using ${artifcactId}-Extention-Name in MANIFEST file can create invalid MANIFEST files

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-102?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=166253#action_166253 ] 

Chris Beach commented on MJAR-102:
----------------------------------

This issue is preventing my Maven-built project from running. I'm using Apache Axis2, which has transitive dependencies on Geronimo.

> If you have a maven dependency on an something with an artifactId that contains a '.'  in it, it creates an illegal manifest file when trying to create an executable jar file (java -jar foo.jar).

>     </dependency>
> When the maven-archiver tries to create a manifest file with the JARs dependencies it adds the following to the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file:
> geronimo-jms_1.1_spec-Extension-Name: geronimo-jms_1.1_spec
> geronimo-jms_1.1_spec-Implementation-Version: 1.0
> After digging around a bit it turns out that '.' is an illegal character in the "Extension-Name" and "Implementaion-Version" header fields, which leads to the following exception when I try to run "java -jar Test.jar"
> java.io.IOException: invalid header field name: geronimo-jms_1.1_spec-Extension-Name
