java class bytes,java.lang.ClassFormatError：类文件末尾的额外字节

I'm getting an odd error when I try and run this program. The class compiles fine into multiple .class files and I compiled it last week (before editing it) just fine. But now, I see this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: Extra bytes at the end of class file blah/hooplah/fubar/nonsense/IndexId$Transaction

From what I've looked up, Java 6 build 1.5 could fix it since it allows extra bytes at the end of class files (I think), but I would much rather use build 1.6.

I'm editing on Windows and then FTP-ing the .java files over to an OpenVMS machine where I then compile them. after compiling I move the .class file into a directory created from exploding the previous jar file and then re-jar.

Any clear ideas on how this happened or how to fix it?

The problem was solved by removing all Line Feeds from the .java file and properly renaming it(OpenVMS defaults to all lower case unless told not to)

Sadly a failure on my part by not testing between each but at least it works.

In short:

-Line Feeds are bad AND Name files properly (Java standards not OS standards)
