Matthias Bläsing commented on RAT-242: -------------------------------------- I had another look at it and the unittests currently run correctly. I suggest to close this for now and reopen/contact me if it surfaces again. For the record things that could go wrong: * the JVM could deny access to the system properties and thus the needed latin1 encoding can't be set for the invocation of the test (should raise an exception) * parallel test runs (threaded in the same VM) would also expose the unittests to race conditions (the default encoding is set VM wide) * different VM implementations could use different fields/caching strategies for the default file encoding (I'd expect an exception then) * JVM might not make the field accessible (relevant for JDK 9), should also raise an exception I hoped to get some more insight, but from the look all should be good. > Encoding of XML report > ---------------------- > > Key: RAT-242 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-242 > Project: Apache Rat > Issue Type: Bug > Components: reports > Affects Versions: 0.12 > Environment: ubuntu > Reporter: Eric Barboni > Priority: Major > Attachments: rat-242.patch > > > Hi, we encounter an issue with encoding of a xml rat report. > We try to parse an xml rat report generated on an iso-8859-1 file system. The > xml has no encoding element in the prolog. If you open it with fileinpustream > it may fail. > last comment in this pull request > (https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/70) by Matthias Bläsing > suggest forcing to UTF-8. > encoding may also be an option in the report task > Regards -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
