Line-breaks in project description and the jar plugin

[Alexander Hars <do...@inventivio.com>]

Hi,

Are there any special requirements for the <description> tag of the pom? 
I have tried using a description consisting of several lines but this 
leads to a conflict with the jar plugin: When trying to launch the jar 
(i.e. on windows by double-clicking), java reports a corrupt jar file 
because it can't read the manifest (the line-breaks of the description 
violate the property=value structure).

Should I separate different lines of the description with \n or <br> or 
is this just a small bug?

Thanks for your help.

-Alexander

I think it might be a bug.
