Remove the \ characters.
>From the Eclipse 5.2 release notes:

  Syntax: inside single or double quoted items an escape character
  (backslash) followed by an invalid escape sequence is now a syntax
  error. Previously, the escape character was simply ignored. The
  number of recognised escape sequences has been increased to
  enhance compatibility.

This alone does not cause an error. You need to show us
the full term/clause that causes it.
