MessageDialog question [message #314511]

I'm running Eclipse 3.2.1. When I call MessageDialog.openInformation, for
example, and pass in a message string that contains a character such as &,
the & is not displayed in the message on the resulting dialog.

I've verified that the & is in the string when openInformation is called.
Is there some formatting that goes on under the covers that removes the
special characters?

Have you tried \& or && combination?

Ok...using && worked

Is there a list of characters that need to be escaped?

I do not know.

I only know, that single & is used to mark shortcuts and makes following
character underlined. But I have not thought that it works for dialog
messages, too... It seems to be a bug for me, but I am not sure.
