    Description

      org.apache.wicket.util.string.JavascriptStripper#stripCommentsAndWhitespace doesn't check the context when looking for multiline comments. In my case, it interprets the default accept header in the jQuery source code as a multiline comment:

      accepts: {
      xml: "application/xml, text/xml",
      html: "text/html",
      script: "text/javascript, application/javascript",
      json: "application/json, text/javascript",
      text: "text/plain",
      _default: "/"
      }

      The culprit being this string: "/"

      I don't have a patch and I wouldn't try to write my own JS parser. Maybe replacing the current implementation with a Rhino-based one is an option. Its available via Maven:

      <dependency>
      <groupId>rhino</groupId>
      <artifactId>js</artifactId>
      <version>1.7R1</version>
      </dependency>
