Java: replaceAll doesn't work well with backslash?

Question

I\'m trying to replace the beginning of a string with backslashes to something else. For some weird reason the replaceAll function doesn\'t like backslashes.

You can use replace() method also which will remove \\\\xyz\\abc from the String

String jarPath = "\\\\xyz\\abc\\wtf\\lame\\";
jarPath = jarPath.replace("\\\\xyz\\abc", "z:");
