["Marvin King (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-34?page=comments#action_63175 ] 

Marvin King commented on MJAR-34:
---------------------------------


 can you give more details? what sort of problems occur when multiline description is used?
 concrete examples will be greatly appreciated, much better if you can attach your generated jar file.  

  so far the specification support multiline values. see the jar specification

     
   --- Specification snippet which applies to the Jar Manifest ----

        newline           :      CR LF | LF | CR ( without LF ) 
        value                :      SPACE *otherchar newline
                                         *continuation
        continuation    :     SPACE *otherchar newline
        otherchar        :       any UTF-8 character except for NUL,CR & LF

> I've found a bug I consider critical (probably because it took me many hours to track down) if a multiline description is added to the pom
> the jar manifest will be broken, terrible things will happen from there.
