Suddenly started facing following error on my development environment – during my maven build!
[ERROR] MyServiceImpl.java:[1,0] illegal character: \65279
The root cause of the issue is that the Java class has BOM(Byte-Order Mark) character and java 1.6 does not compile UTF-8 files having BOM!
On windows notepad++ has an option to encode the file to “UTF-8 without BOM” but didn’t find anything handy on linux!
Solution:
Simplest possible solution!! – Copy the content of the file to another file and it works!
