FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Netbeans 4.0 internal enviroment

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Versione 2002
Service Pack 1

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The following java code:
str.split("|");
str.split("\u007c");
they both split the str string in a wrong way.
Instead of splitting the str for each "|" char,
the str is splitted in strings of one char each.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run this piece of code:
String str = "first|second";
String[] strArray = str.split("|");
for(int ii=0;ii<strArray.length;ii++)
   System.out.println(strArray[ii]);

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Output:
first
second
ACTUAL -
Output:
f
i
r
s
t
|
s
e
c
o
n
d


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
String str = "first|second";
String[] strArray = str.split("|");
for(int ii=0;ii<strArray.length;ii++)
   System.out.println(strArray[ii]);
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
if the str string does not contain the ";"
you can substitute the str.split("|");
with str.replace('|', ';').split(";");
