Nice catch! It works fine for me on
Windows 7, but apparently there's a bug on Linux. Filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/412659.

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,
