Description
j2se/src/share/classes/sun/tools/jconsole/VMPanel.java line 568 has a non-ASCII character (right single quote):

            // Set the first enabled tab in the tab's list

This can cause problems if someone is trying to compile JDK sources and is using -encoding US-ASCII or UTF-8. (The character appears to be encoded in ISO-8859-1.) As far as I can tell this is the only non-ASCII character in j2se/src/share/classes/**/*.java.

$ svn -v stat j2se/src/share/classes/sun/tools/jconsole/VMPanel.java

Comments
EVALUATION Replace with regular single quote character.
