UnicodeUtil.java is a classic compiler torture test. From:
http://cafe.elharo.com/blogroll/eclipse-classpath-insanity/

Eclipse failed to compile one file in nu.xom, UnicodeUtil. That one file is
extremely challenging and a real torture test for various tools. It includes
some huge lookup tables that cause stack overflows in weak compilers and
analyzers. It is legal Java code, and it fits within the bounds of maximum
method size, but just barely. Eclipse used to be able to compile it, but it’s
been weakening from milestone to milestone. A lot of tools can’t handle this
class, and it looks likes between 3.2M4 or thereabouts and 3.2 final Eclipse
joined that number. Previously it couldn’t analyze that class, but at least
it could compile it. Now it can’t even compile it.
