1,2 project gives "Lexical error" and NullPointerExc at GwtProxyMetadataProviderIm

[MiB]

It wasn't so yesterday but suddenly I get this error message at start of my current Spring Roo 1.2m1 project:

"Lexical error at line 34, column 38. Encountered: "\u221a" (8730), after : ""
NullPointerException at org.springframework.roo.addon.gwt.proxy.GwtProxyMe tadataProviderImpl.notify(GwtProxyMetadataProvider Impl.java:195)"

The project in question where I started Roo doesn't use GWT. A fresh reinstall didn't make a difference. It's only this project though, which is really really bad. Lucky I have the mercurial repository.

Any ideas on what this could be?

OS X 10.5.8 and jdk1.5

Can you please try 1.2.0.RC1 ?

All metadata providers run when the shell is started or a type is modified regardless of whether that feature is installed, though they exit quickly and silently when its particular @Roo annotation is not located, but your observation is different and is an issue, possibly.

Unfortunately Spring Roo 1.2RC1 and later nightly builds seem incompatible with the latest openjdk7 version that I must use as I'm on PowerPC. I'll try in Debian.

Roo1.2m1 works fine on either jdk at my disposal.

Is there some way to get a more detailed message? I tried turning on development mode but there's no improvement.

I searched for U+221A "SQUARE ROOT" with the char "√", but it isn't found anywhere in my workspace.
