Hi,

I am a bit puzzled about this, is no one else facing this issue? How
did you guys solve it?

According to the official Message Format javadoc from Oracle (http://
download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html)
the old trick with doubling the quotes should still work (quote):
"Within a String, "''" represents a single quote. "

but when I write the following property in my properties file:
"foo = you can''t do this"

the output will be "you can''t do this" - with 2 single quotes still
present - instead of one according to the javadoc.

Is this a gwt bug?

thanks for any feedback,
Dennis
