Build Identifier: Version: 3.6.0 Build id: I20100608-0911 

When you provide a IArtifactDescriptor which embeds a OmniVersion instance the implementation in
org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.artifact.repository.simple.SimpleArtifactRepository.getOutputStream(IArtifactDescriptor descriptor) will fail.
SimpleArtifactRepository.createLocation will do a:
    URI result = mapper.map(getLocation(), key.getClassifier(), key.getId(), key.getVersion().toString(), descriptor.getProperty(IArtifactDescriptor.FORMAT));

to compute the location, but the key.getVersion().toString() will return a string that starts with "raw:" (because the version is a OmniVersion instance).
On win32 ':' is an invalid character in a filename, when the URI is mapped to a File instance the name will be automatically truncated, so the resulting OutputStream refers to a bogus filename will leads to a completely inconsistent result.

With the current version of P2 used, it seems that it is impossible to provision a feature into a p2 repository when the version is non OSGI compliant.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Simply try to provision a p2 repository using the public P2 API, but use a non-OSGI version format (e.g. "1.0").

Let me know if somebody can think of any workaround (besides reimplementing IFileArtifactRepository).
