Trailing spaces are part of the value, according to the java.util.Properties specification. If you edit properties files as text you must take care not to insert superfluous trailing spaces, lest you change the meaning of the Map<String,String>. There are modules available on the NB update centers which highlight trailing spaces for you which might be useful. Probably the text/x-properties editor ought to display such trailing spaces in a special color. Created attachment 31326 [details]

Note: similar issues exist for Java manifest files, and of course the notorious TAB-in-Makefile problem. |
