[Geotools-devel] Fwd: Re: Don't edit files with Notepad :-)

[Ben Caradoc-D. <Ben...@cs...>]

Jody,

did your note in the developer guide survive the migration to sphinx?

I have seen another evil U+FEFF byte order mark in a text file.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Hi,
I've just got reports from a GeoServer person that works
on OSX (but does not build GeoTools regularly) that the
GS build fails due to issues in some GT2 poms:

[WARNING] POM for
'org.geotools:gt-referencing:pom:2.6-20090315.063112-17:compile' is
invalid. It will be ignored for artifact resolution. Reason: Parse error
reading POM. Reason: only whitespace content allowed before start tag
and not \ud4 (position: START_DOCUMENT seen \ud4... @1:1)

This is the "byte order mark" kiss of death that apparently
affects only OSX builds, and is usually generated by editing
UTF8 files with Notepad on Windows.
Please, get a better editor, for Windows both Notepad++ and Notepad2
work better and do not have this BOM issue (Notepad2 can also
act as a drop in replacement for Notepad if you want).

Anyways, I've fixed the two pom files affected (referencing
and metadata) at revision 32631

Cheers
Andrea
