-------------------------------------------
Ahh sorry, my bad. I was just triggered by the mentioning of the exec plugin at
Jan 4th, and the console further up.
You might be looking at two different different issues here. Welcome to one of
Javas oldest quirks:
Please take a look at this:
[https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.InputStream).
|https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.InputStream)].
Since its introduction in Java 1.2, Java properties files are specified to be
encoded as ISO-8859-1.
That is, unless they are written in xml (introduced with Java 1.5), or get
loaded using
[https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.Reader).|https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.Reader)],
introduced with Java 1.6
In the later case, the user might in fact construct the required Reader with
*any* encoding, but not necessarily the one found in system property
file.encoding. But this has no power over the method using InputStream. If the
property file is loaded by foreign code you can't change, you've got no chance
then to comply, and encode it ISO-8859-1. And in fact, most property files get
loaded this way, using
[https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Class.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String])
If you need to embed characters not encodable in ISO-8859-1 you would need to
use proper Unicode escaping.
This is a really nasty situation, as the IDE might have allowed to select a
different encoding for property files, but didn't elect to; instead opted for
safety & compatibility reasons to insist on ISO-8859-1 for properties files.
If you can live with that, just don't use something else than ISO-8859-1 in
property files.
A proper remedy here is really hard to come by. Basically, it would either
involve changing Javas implementation of
[Properties.html#load(java.io.InputStream)|https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.InputStream)]
to use file.encoding, which could potentially break thousands of systems
running with file.encoding set to something else, so it is rather unlikely to
happen, or Netbeans to specify a separate encoding policy for properties files.
This is one of the very few examples were eclipse has the upper: it allows to
specify the encoding in the properties of every file. Introducing this into
Netbeans will require some conviction.
