-----------------------------------

Hi James, I think it's better to assign this issue to dev, so that they can add the fix to the branch tag and it will be included in EAP 5.3.0 release.

> DefaultStructureCache.getLeaves() takes an unescaped pathName and then uses it as part of a regular expression. This could cause problems if pathName contained any characters that have special meaning in regexps.
> The method also creates a new Pattern object on each call which is relatively expensive.
> It could be fixed and the regex creation dropped by using the following:
>   bool matches = key.startsWith(pathName) && (key.charAt(pathName.length) == '/') && (key.substring(pathName.length + 1).indexOf('/') == -1)
