empty line at the end of SAP Java instance profile

I saw this today in help.sap.com, which says that an Java instance profile must have an empty line at the end of the file, would anyone know what is it for ?

The instance profile (/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<SID>_<instance name>_<hostname>) u2013 this file contains settings that apply to the instance as a whole. For a Java-only installation, the file can be edited with any text editor (beware that the file must have an empty line at the end.);

I have heard many "explanations" for this, but never really any solid answers.

From experience, however, I can tell you that the SAP profiles (both ABAP and Java) will miss the last parameter if it is located on the bottom line of the file. I have always put in two or three blank spaces at the bottom of the profiles in order to avoid this.

Hi,

I bet there will be no official reply about this but I suposse it simply because the J2EE needs the EOF to be located there so the file can be read properly by the engine.
