Odd symbol in the 6.6.3 sources

Hi!
During the packaging of the Vaadin 6.6.3, we found this:


     [echo]
 Compiling widgetset com.vaadin.demo.gwt.OptimizedWidgetSet. Output directory: build/result/vaadin-6.6.3.dev-20110712/WebContent/VAADIN/widgetsets
     [java]

 Line 87: syntax error
     [java]

     [java]
 > ----------------------^

The source indeed contains some strange symbol. I deleted it replacing with a space and problem gone.

Sincerely.

Created
ticket #7256
 and fixed (replaced non-breaking space with a normal space character).

Henri,
looks like this is also in 6.6.2 (release). Maybe it is a good idea to grep/sed it everywhere? :glare:

It has been in every release since May 2010, and has not caused problems until now. Apparently the latest GWT compiler does not treat a non-breaking space as a normal space.

It was the only occurrence of this character, and will not be there in 6.6.3.

Well, at least we know that Google is fixing their bugs… :grin:
