                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-522
             Project: Geronimo-Devtools
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: eclipse-plugin
    Affects Versions: 2.1.3
            Reporter: Charles Overbeck
            Assignee: Tim McConnell


The feature.properties on the update site bundled with 
org.apache.geronimo.v21.feature_2.1.3.jar has a trailing backslash in it. The 
last two lines of the file are this:

trial in any resulting litigation. \n\
\n\ 

Note the trailing slash at the end of the second line; no characters follow it. 
This may not sound like a terrible bug on its own, but because that content 
ends up getting expanded inside the feature.xml, I think it escapes the next 
character in the feature.xml, which in this case is the "<" which closes a tag. 
This leads to an incorrectly generated content.xml file if you are generating 
an update site using Eclipse's P2 metadata generator, and you have the Geronimo 
feature present when you are doing the metadata generation. I don't know if it 
has any other side-effects.

In any case, that's why I'm proposing a priority of Major for this seeming 
trivial bug.
