                }
              else if (nextChar < ' '  ||  (int)nextChar >= 127)
                {
                  result.append("&#" + (int)nextChar + ';');
                }
              else
                {
                  result.append(nextChar);
                }
            }

When compiling using j2sdk_1.5, I get an Unhandled IOException error if I do not comment out

 result.append(nextChar); 

in the last else statement.
The same code block compiles fine with j2sdk_1.4.2_03
Why is it so?
Thanks,

It compiled fine for me. Have you downloaded the beta? It was just announced yesterday.
