Have this code in Java project 'J':

//----
package snippet;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Snippet {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ArrayList<String> strings= null;
        System.out.println(strings);
    }
}
//----

The handle identifier for the local variable 'strings' is:
=J/src<snippet{Snippet.java[Snippet~main~\[QString;@strings!129!160!147!153!QArrayList<QString;>;

When I pass this to JavaCore.create(String), I get an invalid ILocalVariable with this handle identifier:
=J/src<snippet{Snippet.java[Snippet~main~\[QString;@strings!129!160!147!153!QArrayList

'<QString;>;' is missing at the end.

I know that handles for local variables are not stable when the source changes, but I would still expect this to work as long as there are no changes.

This is a problem for bug 233632, where I encode links in the browser widget using the handle identifier.
