Description Cedric Beust CLA 2003-02-18 20:23:32 EST 
Using 20030214.

Escaped characters are now expanded in the variable ${resource_loc} (and
probably others).
 
For example, if the resource is "c:\tools", ${resource_loc} will be
"c:<TAB>ools".  Same for \n, \r, etc...

Cannot reproduce on Windows XP. Can you please provide a detailed test case?


We're creating an Ant script that echos the property ${myProp} and then 
launching it with a config whose argument field is set to 
"-DmyProp=${resource_loc}"


When we run this config, we get the output "[echo] 
C:\TargetWorkspaces\eclipse\AntBuild\tot.txt"
