Buckminster "Invalid pattern exp" but no patterns in my project [message #816150]

Hello,

This may be silly mistake which I'm not able to see but I'm stuck on it.

When I build my site.p2 with buckminster it builds all the plugins and features but when it tries to build the root feature i get this error:

"/buckminster/pde/antscripts/build.xml:300: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 'T': java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 'T'"

I don have any pattern in my projects nor in the feature. The only pattern is the

qualifier.replace.* in buckminster.properties but I've seen this in all samples.

Also the plugins qualifier is not being replaced, both issues may be related.

My properties files:
# Where all the output should go
buckminster.output.root=${user.home}/tmp/Icaria
# Where the temp files should go
buckminster.temp.root=${user.home}/tmp/buildtmp
# How .qualifier in versions should be replaced
qualifier.replacement.*=generator:buildTimestamp

target.os=*
target.ws=*
target.arch=*

after reinstalling buckminster 3.7 qualifiers are being replaced by "elipse-feature" or "osgi-bundle" (same properties file)

Eclipse version Version: 3.7.1

Try running your build with DEBUG output and check to see if you get a stacktrace. Using --displaystacktrace may be
helpful if you run headless.

Buckminster picks up a property setting using the key:

generator.buildTimestamp.format

The value for that property is then used as a format parameter to the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class. Apparently the
value contains an invalid pattern character. The default value for this property is

'v'yyyyMMddHHmm

and as far as I can see, Buckminster never overrides this default by itself. Do you find a setting for this property
somewhere in your build?

Just to be sure I did a search over all my projects and no matches were found. It's the first time I use buckminster so I don't think that is the problem.
Reinstalling doesn't work neither.

Very odd indeed. I've scanned through the whole Buckminster code base and I can't find any formats that would be invalid.

Would it be possible for you to zip up an example and attach it to a bug?
