             Summary: Guarded code in old GUI editor created java files no 
longer read correctly.
                 Key: NETBEANS-6351
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6351
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: guibuilder - Code
    Affects Versions: 12.6
         Environment: Netbeans 12.6, windows 10
            Reporter: Luke Lindsay
         Attachments: error message.png, freerails-java.zip

I was revising an old project from 2001-2006.  It includes a number of swing 
forms created with the netbeans GUI editor.  These forms can no longer be read 
correctly.  I get an error message saying "Error while parsing java source 
file" see attachment below. !error message.png!

I think the cause of the problem is a change how guarded blocks are indicated.  
In the old files, there is a space after the "//", e.g.
{code:java}
// GEN-BEGIN:initComponents 
// GEN-FIRST:event_formKeyPressed{code}
Whereas the current version seems to expect no space, e.g.
{code:java}
//GEN-BEGIN:initComponents
//GEN-FIRST:event_formKeyPressed {code}
The attached project has a number of examples of forms that can no longer be 
read correctly.  The examples are in the directory 
src\main\java\jfreerails\client\view
