    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-5835?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12514669#action_12514669 ] 

Viacheslav Kabanovich commented on JBIDE-5835:
----------------------------------------------

I see the importance of keeping property as is. 
At the same time, leading backslash is not part of property, that is in runtime, when java.util.Properties object is created, propertiesLocation is equal to ${user.dir}/src/main/config/application.properties, without '\'. In JBoss Tools Properties editor, Source tab should keep all symbols of original source, but Properties tab displays and allows to edit runtime properties in native languages ruther than sequences \uXXXX.
Solution can be as follows. A property remains unmodified in source until it is edited by user in Properties tab. As soon as user modified a property with Edit dialog at Properties tab, its new value will be saved to source as converted from the runtime value, without an attemt to merge the result with extra symbols of which runtime value was not aware.
