    Description

      The feature.properties on the update site bundled with org.apache.geronimo.v21.feature_2.1.3.jar has a trailing backslash in it. The last two lines of the file are this:

      trial in any resulting litigation. \n\
      \n\

      Note the trailing slash at the end of the second line; no characters follow it. This may not sound like a terrible bug on its own, but because that content ends up getting expanded inside the feature.xml, I think it escapes the next character in the feature.xml, which in this case is the "<" which closes a tag. This leads to an incorrectly generated content.xml file if you are generating an update site using Eclipse's P2 metadata generator, and you have the Geronimo feature present when you are doing the metadata generation. I don't know if it has any other side-effects.

      In any case, that's why I'm proposing a priority of Major for this seeming trivial bug.
