Why do you say JDT does not like it?
The editor, compiler and also the tests work just fine. And I also don't
see a problem re: Git.

Having said, that, we can probably change
this. Please file a bug against JDT Core.

Hi all,

Last I-Build of Platform can build on Jenkins. That's already cool.
However, I get an issue with Sonar (and underlying Postgresql) which gets
lost with a strange String construct in MatchingRegionsTest. Log of the
failure is here: https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/platform-sonar/9/console
. It is caused because PostgreSQL, as many other applications such as JDT
or CGit, doesn't like a text to contain the null charater (0) . An example
of occurrence can be found at offset 172f in http://git.eclipse.org/c/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git/tree/org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.model/src/org/eclipse/jdt/core/tests/model/MatchingRegionsTest.java
. However, test is compiling and working fine because java compilers seem
to be OK with having a 0x00 in source code.
I'd like to replace this direct inclusion of the null character by a "\0"
which should have the same effect at Java execution (in theory) without
confusing other apps that directly read source, Would such a change make
sense?

Cheers,
