Okay, so this just took me about 3 wasted hours to figure out. Turns out other jars that were packed in my WAR had multiple line descriptions in the jar MANIFEST that was copied form the pom <description> tag in maven. When tomcat tried to load the war artifact got some lousy invalid header message that forced me to travel far far away. But now i'm back and happy again with a working Alpha that has been a year and a half in the making.

I looked at the manifest file produced by the build process and noticed the description was multiple lines. I changed that and it is still giving me the error. Below is the generated file, can anyone see anything wrong?
