> [JDK-8295729](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8295729) was created in an > attempt to remove all trailing whitespace from properties files, and enable a > jcheck verification that they did not come back, similar to other source > code. It turned out that this was not so simple, however, since trailing > whitespace in values is actually significant in properties files. > > To address this, I have opened four bugs on different component teams to > either remove the trailing significant whitespace (if it is there > erroneously), or convert it to the unicode sequence `\u0020`: > [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). > > That leaves all the other trailing spaces, in blank lines and in the end of > comments. These serve no purpose and should just be removed, and is what this > issue concerns. > > When this and the four "significant whitespace" bugs are all finally > integrated, we can finally turn on the verification in jcheck for properties > files as well. > > The changes in this PR is based on > [JDK-8295729](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8295729), in #10792. I have > restored all the "delete trailing whitespace" changes, except for those with > significance. These changes were in turned created by running `find . -type > f -iname "*.properties" | xargs gsed -i -e 's/[ \t]*$//'`.
