Description Rüdiger Herrmann CLA 2013-02-13 10:14:59 EST 
This snippet leads to a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
    DefaultInformationControl informationControl = new DefaultInformationControl( shell, false );
    informationControl.setInformation( "foo" );
    
Though I am not sure if I use the API correctly, an exception shouldn't be the answer.

Stacktrace:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
