Description

In piper file definition, parameters with a quoted "equals" sign in the parameter value are not picked up by the piper file reader.

This occurs because the NAME_VALUE_PATTERN regular expression ignores parameter values containing "equals" signs. This pattern is valid in some cases, such as definition of a DBCollectionReader reader.

Example:

// Database Reader
// Read documents from a database.
reader org.apache.ctakes.ytex.uima.DBCollectionReader queryGetDocumentKeys="select txt.NOTE_ID instance_id from Note_Txt txt" queryGetDocument="select Note_text from Note_Txt txt where NOTE_ID = :instance_id"
