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

> 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}
