[ome-users] Bioformats java error: "illegal character: \92"

[John Webber (NBI)]

Hi,

I am trying to build openmicroscopy, but am encountering an error.  I see the following errors:

D:\GitHub\openmicroscopy\components\bioformats\components\ome-xml\build\src\ome\
xml\meta\AggregateMetadata.java:602: error: illegal character: \92

When I look into the java file, I see "\" characters throughout the code, which are all resulting in the above error.

As per the advice from Melisa on the following page: http://www.openmicroscopy.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7386,  I have tried to configure Git to respect the repository's line endings with the following commands:

git config --global --add core.autocrlf input
git rm --cached -r .
git reset --hard

However, I am still seeing the same issue:  a huge number of the "illegal character" errors.

I have tried to remove these characters and re-run the build, but these files are re-generated with the incorrect "\" characters.

Please can someone give me any pointers as to what has gone wrong?

Thanks
John
