Description

The current version of the javadoc plugin fails if the footer specified for the project contains newline characters:

				<plugin>
					<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
					<executions>
						<execution>
							<goals>
								<goal>jar</goal>
							</goals>
							<phase>package</phase>
						</execution>
					</executions>
					<configuration>
						<excludePackageNames>*.internal*</excludePackageNames>
						<footer>
						<![CDATA[
							<table border="0" cellpadding="0">
							<tr><td><img src="{@docRoot}/icon.gif" width="32" /></td><td> All rights reserved.</td></tr></table>
							]]>
						</footer>

					</configuration>
				</plugin>

The resulting output is as follows:
[INFO] Error while creating archive:Exit code: 1 - javadoc: error - Illegal package name: "<tr><td><img"
javadoc: error - Illegal package name: "src="
