Description Jörg Thönnes

If the description or the comment of a Trac task contains binary characters, ie @\001@,
the retrieval of the task data fails with the error message:

bq. 
An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1) was found in the element content of the document.

Only the task data up to the bad comment is retrieved.

If the wrong encoding is done by the Trac XML-RPC plugin, this should be correct there.
But it would be good if the Mylyn connector could a bit more tolerant and workaround these
encoding errors.

I agree that this should be handled more gracefully. I'll track this on bug 236034 which requests the same feature for JIRA. This needs to addressed on the framework level.
