Double backslash in application.properties marked invalid (M12)

[tjstuart]

In M10, the below line from a properties file is valid ...

my.property=c:\\path\\to\\file

In M12 it is not, and you get warnings such as ...

- missing LineBreak at 't' - missing LineBreak at '\' - missing LineBreak at 'f' - missing LineBreak at '\' - missing LineBreak at 'p' - missing LineBreak at '\'

Not a huge issue, but thought it should be raised as it is a regression. I suspect it has something do with the below from the M12 changelog ...

"(Eclipse) default editors for Boot properties (application.properties and application.yml files) now based on the generic editor and the language server support - the old editors are still around, but will be removed in future versions of STS4"
