Error: Unmatched closing ')' near index 9 .*\([^\\]+)\.([a-zA-Z0-9]+) in build.xml - Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt build using Windows settings.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: MIME Types changed. Received error: "Unmatched closing ')' near 
index 9 .*\([^\\]+)\.([a-zA-Z0-9]+)"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest Trunk build.xml, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
The ${file.seperator} returns \ which i think is causing the ( to be 
interperted as literal. I temporarily fixed by wrapping with \Q\\E .

I'm not sure using file separator here is that useful.
From my experience, using / in paths under windows works perfectly fine, and I 
don't 
believe / is a legal character in windows paths.
I guess we could just replace the file separator by a hardcoded /, which would 
solve the 
issue
