Description Ziyao Wei CLA 2011-11-04 21:57:36 EDT 
Build Identifier: I20110613-1736

In the version of Eclipse I am using, a string such as "!!^@!" would be shown in the console as "!!" instead of "!!!", which is the output in the Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) console.

For full detail, I've asked this problem on StackOverflow.com (link here):

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8017465/why-printing-0-will-nullify-the-rest-of-the-line-in-java

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write such a line in the main method in Java: System.out.print("!\0!");
2. Execute it.
3.

Also using the example snippet from stackoverflow works for me, and I get the following output:

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
