Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your email! Comments below:

Weird, maybe a character encoding issue? What charset are you using? UTF-8?

I know that some of the tests don't pass on Windows, here are a couple of 
recommendations to get it up and running:

0. just run mvn -Dmaven.skip.tests=true install (yes, no tests, but at least 
gets you jars to start mucking around)
1. if possible, download Cygwin. This isn't totally preferable because it 
doesn't turn your Windows machine into a Unix box, but it might get you a 
little further. If you do this, don't use your windows stock JDK, see if you 
can get a Unix-y one installed directly into cygwin.
2. grab VMware or some alternative, and pop open a *nix VM. We do a lot of 
testing on CentOS, or Ubuntu. 
3. grab a physical Unix, Linux or Mac machine and run it there.

2 or 3 are probably the best options, since we don't have a lot of Windows devs 
here, but if you absolutely can't do either of them, try 0 or 1 and if you run 
into anything else, let us know and we'll try and help.

I thought this sounded similar:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-114

However, that is showing an error in a different test and wasn't on Windows.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Chris
