It seems to me that the EditableProperties try to decode some string
with some strange unicode sequence. Passing to ant module for evaluation.

Yes, but I have no idea how to reproduce that. I will improve the
class to at least throw an IOException so the error is better.
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2004-07-16 21:01:25 UTC 
I did find a bug that if the .properties file contained malformed
Unicode escapes, a NFE would be thrown rather than handling the
problem more gracefully.

Reporter: beware that the properties file format requires \ to be
escaped if it is to be treated literally e.g. as a file separator.
Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2004-07-16 23:39:11 UTC 
That fix:

committed   * Up-To-Date  1.8        
ant/project/src/org/netbeans/spi/project/support/ant/EditableProperties.java
committed   * Up-To-Date  1.6        
ant/project/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/spi/project/support/ant/EditablePropertiesTest.java
committed   * Up-To-Date  1.3        
ant/project/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/spi/project/support/ant/data/test.properties

EditableProperties now silently ignores malformed Unicode escapes (as
it already ignored truncated Unicode escapes).

Note that since java.util.Properties throws an
IllegalArgumentException in such a case, property files with such a
syntax error would be quite useless anyway.
