[ BUILD # : 200710011200 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_02 ] Automatic internationalization of forms is enabled. We made a form with NB 5.5.1 and now are working on it with 5.5.1 and 6.0. 5.5.1 used uppercase in hex codes for unicode chars and 6.0 uses lowercase in the .properties files. For example, 5.5.1: APplusManagerGUI.revertButton.text=R\u00FCckg\u00E4ngig 6.0: APplusManagerGUI.revertButton.text=R\u00fcckg\u00e4ngig This may look trivial but it results in absolutely unnecessary and irritating diffs in the .properties files. Even if it is not supported or encouraged to use 5.5.1 and 6.0 parallel, it is still an issue when upgrading from 5.5.1 to 6.0.
Reassigning to properties module for evaluation. It seems that it used uppercase letters in escape sequences, but it uses lowercase letters by now.
Fixed in the trunk. This was really a trivial fix - see the diff.
