    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-107?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=151393#action_151393 ] 

Mark Crocker commented on MJAVADOC-107:
---------------------------------------

I had a similar problem that was related to the existence of carriage returns and tab characters in the <description> element in the pom.xml file.  The content of this element gets copied by the jar plugin to the Specification-Title: field in the MANIFEST.MF with some strange wrapping.  Putting the entire contents of the <description> element on a single line seems to solve the problem.

This work-around should not be required. The Maven XML parser should "do the right thing" with whitespace and not include the leading tabs in the description entry.

Using the encoding element in the configurations section of the resources plugin, as suggested by on posting, did not help.
