> i've been using regex to select which tests to run...and i've got some wierd exceptions when executing
> {code}
> mvn test "-Dtest=%regex[.*\Q#\E.*]"
> {code}
> executing the above command results in:
> {code}
> java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: 
> Illegal/unsupported escape sequence near index 1

> i noticed earlier that maven might do some black-magic with these regexps in the background ( i know that it should know the class name earlier; to avoid starting testcases which will get entirely excluded...and thats cool )
> ...so..i assume maven does split the regex by the {{#}}; and that's okay - if that can't be avoided; place some pointers in the documentation about it and/or a more descriptive exception could be useful
