Hi Michael,
Thanks for reporting it. JDK is complaining about the "illegal unicode
character" as part of javadoc comments. Starting from 1.5 norms for unicode characters
are made more stringent.
Changes are hamrless since it is only the java doc comments that need
to be changed. I will change it today.
Thanks again.
Neeraj
