Description

We are trying to escape forward slash using StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava () method. The output returned by this method is no longer a valid Java String.

e.g.

String s = "a/b/c";
System.out.println(StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava (s));

The output returned is a\/b\/c which is not a even a valid Java String.

This was working fine in 2.0 release of this jar.
