This does not look like form output to me.


In the following code snippet, the value of the destination string is empty, when it should (in theory) contain a concat of two Character
types. No exception was triggered, at compile or runtime.


----------------------

public static void main(String args[])
{
String strEOL = new String();
Character chCR = new Character('\\r');
Character chLF = new Character('\\n');

...


//Prepare EOL string, depending on target machine
if (args[2].equalsIgnoreCase("FromUnix"))
{
        // The following concats DO NOT work; strEOL.length is 0; chCR.toString returns the appropriate value
        // strEOL.concat(chCR.toString());
        // strEOL.concat(chLF.toString());

        //Workaround
        strEOL += chCR.toString();
        strEOL += chLF.toString();
}
else
{
        // strEOL.concat(chLF.toString());
        strEOL += chLF.toString();

...
