Steve Ragle commented on VELOCITY-709:
--------------------------------------
This breaks a critical template for us (which is highly customized by many of
our customers), which means we can't use 1.6 at all unless this is fixed.
That's a shame because I was looking forward to taking advantage of several 1.6
changes and features.
> String literal "\\" parses incorrectly
> --------------------------------------

> Key: VELOCITY-709
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-709
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Engine
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Reporter: Byron Foster
> Fix For: 1.7
>
>
> Given the following VTL:
> #set($var = "\\" )
> #set($var2 = "${var}")
> results in the following parse error:
> Encountered "${" at test.vm[line 2, column 15]
> Was expecting one of:
> <RPAREN> ...
> ...
> the problem is that when parsing the string literal "\\" the second double
> quote is escaped. This was actually a bug that was introduced in 1.6.x, but
> I don't think we necessarily need to fix it in that branch.
