Description nimarukan 2013-02-08 22:42:57 UTC 
Netbeans version 7.3rc2

JSF .xhtml files are xml files and may contain entities such as "&" for the ampersand character "&" in EL (Expression Language) expressions.

An "&&" token may cause errors in xml proccessing, so "&&" is used.
("and" could also be used).
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#syntax

Currently NetBeans erroneously flags "&&" as an EL syntax error.

  Encountered "&" at line 1 column 21.
  Was expecting one of
     ...
     "&&" ...
     "and" ...
     ...

<h:panelGroup rendered="#{row.size != 0 &amp;&amp; row.name != null}" ...

It should not be an error.  (NB could suggest replacing "&amp;&amp;" with "and", but should not count this as an error.)

This was fixed pretty long time ago, feel free to check it in our beta build or wait for the nb80 release. Closing as worksforme.
