Re: [Wonder-disc] Mac OS X Dec 2002 DevTools and Jikes 1.17

Thanks Anjo!

I found Jikes 1.17 is happy with
String s = "\u005C\u005C";

which is an equivalent of
String s = "\\";

I just tried Jikes 1.18 out and it does compile "\\", but after reading your
comments, I feel I'd rather wait little longer for 1.18 to grow.

I just posted a bug report (#3128534) to Apple.
