I am debugging a program provided to me by someone else, and do not have the source code for it. It just spat the following string of packed data at me:
FAILEDTOBUILD 002[AlternateOption [plain text data] re=[OPTION=YES] newValue[OPTION=NO]]
I expected it to be XML, but unless the XML format has changed drastically within the last 2 hours, this is something else. Can anyone help me identify it?
I did some googling, but it was like trying to squeeze water from a rock.
The software is a jar, so I’m trying to decompile it to see what its doing. The return value is coming as a plain text string.
Is this even really a format? The exact data returned has been modified for confidentiality reasons, but I have preserved all non-alphanumeric characters in their exact order, including such discrepancies as the “re” field having an equals sign and the newValue field not having one.
The java component was encountering an error of some sort. When it does this, it returns a plain text string. So it was just plain text.
