https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/best-practices-jsp-136021.html The set of characters in a value is also limited. If special characters may occur, it is recommended that the value be quoted, using ObjectName.quote. If the value for a given key is sometimes quoted, then it should always be quoted. By default, if a value is a string (rather than a number, say), then it should be quoted unless you are sure that it will never contain special characters. Practically, some special characters are allowed, but we will standardize on allowed characters in java identifiers. In 5.0.x, this is enabled using `spring.integration.properties`.
Spring Integration

Checking out and Building
To check out the project and build from source, do the following:
git clone git://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration.git
cd spring-integration
./gradlew build
NOTE: While Spring Integration runs with Java SE 6 or higher, a Java 8 compiler is required to build the project.
If you encounter out of memory errors during the build, increase available heap and permgen for Gradle:
GRADLE_OPTS='-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xmx1024m'
To build and install jars into your local Maven cache:
./gradlew install
To build api Javadoc (results will be in build/api):
./gradlew api
To build reference documentation (results will be in build/reference):
./gradlew reference
To build complete distribution including -dist, -docs, and -schema zip files (results will be in build/distributions)
./gradlew dist
Using Eclipse
To generate Eclipse metadata (.classpath and .project files), do the following:
./gradlew eclipse
Once complete, you may then import the projects into Eclipse as usual:
File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace
Browse to the 'spring-integration' root directory. All projects should import free of errors.
Using IntelliJ IDEA
To generate IDEA metadata (.iml and .ipr files), do the following:
./gradlew idea
