The JAR specification dictates that a manifest must end with a line break, and the PDE builder enforces this with the 'Header must be terminated by a line break' marker.

I recently helped a colleague trying to understand why a manifest was invalid. Initially it didn't end with a line break, so following the message, he pressed Enter. However, the previous line was a continuation, so the new line actually contained a single (inconspicuous) space, resulting in the same message, and much confusion as to whether the builder had broken. :)

This patch adds a quick fix resolution to the marker. If the manifest ends with a content line, it adds a newline. If it ends with a line containing only whitespace, it deletes the whitespace, leaving just the newline.
