Java logger - apostrophe issues with tokens

Question

I have some unexplained behavior with java.util.logging. Let\'s take a look at these two samples:

First:

boolean var = false;
log.log( Lev         


        

Answer 1

{ and } are also potentially problems. This is why the NetBeans IDE hint to use message formats in log messages escapes these characters.

Besides

log.log(Level.WARNING, "Can''t {0}", new Object[] {var});

you can try simply and more readably

log.log(Level.WARNING, "Can’t {0}", new Object[] {var});

or just spell it out to begin with:

log.log(Level.WARNING, "Cannot {0}", new Object[] {var});
