Description Lukas Hasik 2006-05-31 15:33:44 UTC 
User can use any character as Platform/Device Name in Custom Platform wizard. It
can cause problems when reading the xml of the platform.


It's more usability issue than serious bug. It is corner case with easy
workaround - edit the xml and rename.

Comment 4 Adam Sotona 2007-05-21 16:20:19 UTC 
The characters can be entered but the XML could not be malformed.
Fixed.
Comment 5 Lukas Hasik 2007-07-27 13:48:05 UTC 
it still doesn't work. E.g. platform name starting with $$
Comment 6 Adam Sotona 2007-07-31 17:10:33 UTC 
The xml is not corrupted by $$ and everything is stored correctly.
However regular expression in build script used to evaluate platform home is sensiteve to special characters.
Comment 7 Adam Sotona 2007-08-16 15:04:46 UTC 
I've blocked usage of any special characters used in Ant regular expressions.
