double const= Math.PI;

The error message is:
'Syntax error on token "Invalid Character", invalid VariableDeclaratorId'

For keywords other than "const" and "goto", the error message includes the
offending constant's name in the error message, i.e.
'Syntax error on token "public", invalid VariableDeclaratorId'.
Comment 1 Olivier Thomann CLA 2005-02-07 20:58:48 EST 
The problem comes from the fact that goto and const are not returned as tokens.
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2005-02-07 21:38:12 EST 
Added const and goto as tokens.
Error message are now consistent.
Fixed and released in HEAD.
