Description

In previous versions, like Karaf 2.2.2 ZIP release I could use paths as session variables using Karaf shell:

scripts.path=C:\\data
C:\data

But now, using Karaf 2.2.11 I need to double escape slashes to obtain the same behaviour:

scripts.path=C:\\data
C:data

vs

scripts.path=C:\\\\data
C:\data

I don't know in which version between 2.2.2 and 2.2.11 it has changed. Why did this behaviour change? I have a lot of Karaf scripts that I need to edit adding these double-escaped paths.
