Properties File Editor gets confused with trailing double backslash
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-7029
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-7029
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0.M1
         Environment: Linux - Fedora 13, JDK 1.6.0_20, Eclipse Helios
            Reporter: Jeremy Nix


I have properties defined in a property file in the following fashion:
test.ontology=\\\\a\\b\\c\\
test.name=My Test Ontology
test2.ontology=\\\\a\\b\\c\\d\\
test2.name=My Test Ontology #2

If I copy and past this into a properties file, save, close and reopen, i get
the following properties file definition:
test.ontology=\\\\a\\b\\c\\
test2.ontology=\\\\a\\b\\c\\d\\

Now, I haven't been able to find documentation in the Java API's that says you
can't have a property end with an escaped backslash, so I assume that I'm not
defining these incorrectly.  And, for those who would say use slashes, not
backslashes, these are conceptual paths, not file paths, and cannot be changed.

Is this a bug, or am I defining the entries incorrectly? (Confirmed by Eclipse team
that file is defined correctly, which means this is a bug)
