Problem with escape characters using 'generate a unit test'

Greetings. I have recently begun to dig into Activiti, and so this is my first post in these forums.While trying the designer - Eclipse Kepler (JEE Edition), designer plugin 5.12 -, I generated a couple of simple diagrams. When I used the Activiti command to generate a unit test, the resulting Java

Actually, this issue has been in de Designer plugin for a very long time, so downgrading will not help you, I'm afraid. The unit test style generated by that action is also rather outdated, so it seems time we upgrade that. Please file a jira issue for us to address this.

Mind you, are your analysts going to be doing any kind of work with the unit tests? All that's generated is a starter for a unit test.

Also, please note that we don't actually support Kepler at this point, so you might run into issues.

Ok, I filed the issue in Jira. And I'll keep in mind the lack of support for Kepler, I'll probably re-build the environment with Juno.

As for the analysts, I can't say at this point. I am the responsible for discovering Activiti's functionality and establish how to work with it, and I know that at some point, analysts will want to test their models before committing them to the database. If there is any way to do such a thing without having to go through the unit tests, that will be how they will be doing it definitely. Actually, we've spotted that KIS BPM claims to be able to test and simulate, so probably I'll ask later info about that product.

Hehehe… That is not my choice, unfortunately.
