Feature.properties has a trailing backslash in it
-------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-522
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.
