My ancient code, I think.
Probably a brain fart, or some "preliminary version here and I fix it later" and 'later' never happened. :D
Too many years has passed to remember the actual reason.

But yeah, it is definetly not working for multiple types...
The last group should be probably:

{([^},]+)(,[^},]+)*}

in org.apache.polygene.index.sql.support.skeletons.AbstractSQLStartup

And in method stringToCompositeDescriptor()

Matcher matcher = DESCRIPTOR_TEXTUAL_REGEXP.matcher( str );
if( !matcher.matches() )
{
     throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Descriptor textual description " + str
                                         + " was invalid." );
}

and of course it says that it doesn't match with

{Domain Layer}{Organization Module}{interface
com.sensetif.sink.model.organization.CreditLimit,interface
org.apache.polygene.api.value.ValueComposite}


so where is the problem?


The RegExp "Pattern" prints out to

^\Q{\E(.*)\Q}\E\Q{\E(.*)\Q}\E\Q{\E([^\Q},\E]+)\Q}\E$

as if that helps...

So I realize that the \Q and \E are escaping markers, so it is basically
saying

^{(.*)}{(.*)}{([^},]+)}$

(where comma and curlies being ordinary characters)

But the third group shouldn't work at all...

* ([^},]+)*

So, that is a group of one or more characters but not comma and not end
brace...


Has this ever worked? Because a few lines later, the sequence of types are
being extracted, so it was intended to have multiple types.


I am at loss.
