Here's a neat one (running on Solaris):
typetest.java:28: Invalid escape character.
System.out.println("a is \\u1161");
^
1 error
Yes, the compiler really is complaining about the "\\u". It does not
complain if the string is either "\u1161" or "\\ u1161" (note space). My
guess is that the scanner reads the \u1161, converts it to Unicode, and
then reparses the string for some obscure reason, but I don't have access
to the Beta code. This is not a problem in Alpha, BTW.
