Christian Schulte commented on MASSEMBLY-756: --------------------------------------------- May I ask what the escape string is set to? Is it set to a single backslash? I am asking because this {code}\\${id}{code} would need to become {code}\\value of id{code} after filtering! That's what the {{maven-resources-plugin}} would produce intentionally. Having said that, the description of the issue is wrong and should read: The result should be: {code}property.C=prefix \\value of id text-in-the-middle \\value of id suffix{code} To get the expected result, the input would need to look like: {code}property.double_escaped=prefix \${id} text-in-the-middle \${id} suffix{code} Note: The filtering does not know about anything file format specific. Escaping the backslash in a properties resource file is wrong here. The filtering does not know anything about any file format specific escaping rules intentionally. > escapeString doesn't work correctly for the 2nd filtering > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-756 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-756 > Project: Maven Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: filtering > Affects Versions: 2.5.3 > Reporter: Vítor Moreira > Assignee: Olivier Lamy (*$^¨%`£) > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > Attachments: escapeString.zip > > > If we have a filter file with some escapeString, there are situations that > escaping doesn't work. > For example, you have a filter file with two escaped filters: > {code}property.double_escaped=prefix \\${id} text-in-the-middle \\${id} > suffix{code} > And that property is used in a config file, for example: > {code}property.C=${property.double_escaped}{code} > The result should be: > {code}property.C=prefix ${id} text-in-the-middle ${id} suffix{code} > And not this: > {code}property.C=prefix ${id} text-in-the-middle \{id} suffix{code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
