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.

JDT compiler is working perfectly and is fine with this NULL character inside a String (I guess it's part of the Java spec).
When I open JDT editor, the line is truncated where the NULL character is located, so the next characters on the line are not shown. Vim shows the full line and a ^@ for this NULL character, whch is a more visible behaviour.
About CGit, I guess the 0 character is the reason why this Source file is shown as a binary file instead of a text file as it is the case for all other java files.

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

Thanks, I'll do that.

Cheers,
