-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmm, ok, I see.
Ok, I think the SCR plugin should probably properly handle escaping: if a
property value contains special characters requiring escaping in the Metatype
Service, the SCR plugin should escape them when writing the metatype.xml file.
That is the value of
> @Property(value="sample\\ value")
should be written as "sample\ value" to the DS descriptor and "sample\\ value"
to the Metatype descriptor.

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Maven SCR Plugin
> Reporter: Ankur Pathela
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Priority: Minor
>
> For a component property defined as below:
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~
> static private final String DEFAULT_FILE_PATTERN = "(?i)index\\.html";
> @Property(value=DEFAULT_FILE_PATTERN)
> static private final String PN_FILE_PATTERN = "file.pattern";
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~
> The backslash gets eaten up in the felix web console. The default value
> should appear as (?i)index\.html but ends up looking like (?i)index.html.
> This regex has a different meaning than the one intended.
> The component gets the correct initial value. But things fail when you open
> the property editor and save without making any changes(because the editor
> loaded up with an incorrect default value). Note that the property values
> when saved from the property editor render correctly the next time the editor
> loads.
