[jira] Reopened: (JEXL-44) Comments don't allow double-quotes

["Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-44?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sebb reopened JEXL-44:
----------------------


## comments still don't allow ", for example:

public void test44() throws Exception {
        JEXL.createExpression("## 'comment'\n"); // OK
        JEXL.createExpression("## \"comment\"\n");  // fails Lexical error at line 1, column 4.  Encountered: "\"" (34), after : "## "
}  

I would expect ## and // to behave identically; however the parser specifically does not allow double-quote after ##.
It's not clear why, as the syntax document does not mention anything special about double-quotes.
I think this is probably a bug.

==

Note that the trailing "\n" is necessary, otherwise the test fails with:

Lexical error at line 1, column 13.  Encountered: <EOF> after : "## \'comment\'"

Seems to me that <EOF> should be allowed to terminate a single-line comment.
