Welcome to Spring Roo. For assistance press CTRL+SPACE or type “hint” then hit ENTER.
roo> Lexical error at line 21, column 39. Encountered: “\u2013” (8211), after : “”

How to restore the index?

now, when I upgrade to Roo 1.2.1 the error message is gone but I get roo> null with the same effect: no *.aj sources are generated and woven.

The code is fine, I’ve checked it out on two other different machines where all .aj were generated, no error message.

Hypothesis 1: it has to do with windos/ linux character interpetation. On Linux it worked, under Windows error

    Solved the mystery.

    In one of the tests I declare a german constant with ‘umlaute’: ö is the culprit not en-dash.

    So the parser for aspect generation reads this and can’t cope with it. It’s a bug IMHO, especially I hate the fact that the exception can’t tell which sequence of characters is surounding the culprit. That would really kill debugging time.

    Interestingly on Linux no problems.
