This is related to my previous post at http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2009-February/001145.ht ml and my first contribution to the JDK7 project. As Martin suggested, I have worked on a wide char version of ProcessImpl_md.c. For discussion of my proposed chages a copy of my source can be found at:
http://www.apis.de/pub/jdk7/ProcessImpl_md.c and a diff at: http://www.apis.de/pub/jdk7/ProcessImpl_md.c This patch enables launching executables residing on a path containing non-ansi characters. My next goal is to get the java launcher working on a unicode path. I think this needs additional coordination with the hotspot team, since some of the code in os.cpp also has issues in a unicode path when loading verify.dll and java.dll. Regards Heiko
