[platform-swt-dev] Label ampersand in text

["Nazarenus, Jens" <Jens.Nazarenus@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am developing a SWT application using org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Label.

When I include an ampersand <&> with label.setText("my company GmbH & Co. KG"); the character is not shown correctly.
Mostly an underline <_> is shown instead of the ampersand. It seems that SWT interprets the ampersand as the mnemonic character for the label.

What I have done:
I wrote a method which is invoked after setting the text for the label control.

public static void fixMnemonic(Label l) {
	String text = l.getText();
	l.setText(text.replaceAll("&", "&&"));
}

It works. But I am not happy with this solution.
Is there another way to bypass this issue?

Regards
