Xtext IResourceValidator: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range - validation

Question

I have a standalone xtext module (v2.9.0.beta3) which is built using Gradle. I implement the IResourceValidator.validate() function to validate a resource and I get the following error:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 65
