> Reported by Olaf Bergner on the users list:
> "Sometimes I left a perfectly running build to do some cosmetic work in the
> projects that produce my osgi wrapper bundles for external libraries, using
> the maven-bundle-plugin. Getting back to the real stuff I fired up maven
> only to see my build fail with a compilation error, although I didn't touch
> any 'real' code. Eventually, I found out that the compilation failure was
> caused by an invalid header in one of my osgi wrapper bundle's manifest
> file. It turns out that the maven-bundle-plugin copies the 'description'
> section from the pom into the generated MANIFEST.MF. So that description
> better be on one line. If you are like me and habitually format each and
> every file before saving - strg-shift-F in eclipse - that restriction easily
> gets violated. I therefore made it a habit to include the description in a
> CDATA-section."
