I am going to close this PR (and bug), and instead I have split up this work in five different bugs: [JDK-8298047](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8298047) is about removing all non-significant whitespace from all properties files, basically corresponding to how this PR looked after the second commit. [JDK-8298042](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8298042), [JDK-8298044](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8298044), [JDK-8298045](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8298045) and [JDK-8298046](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8298046) is about fixing the significant whitespace, by turning it to unicode sequences or removing it, if it turns out there should not have been a space there. This work is split into four parts to be able to have one bug per component team. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/10792
