Hi, all! Are there any Coding Guidelines that we ought to follow, or is our project on our own there?
I am interested in clarifying the following question: What is the character encoding for our sources. Our build scripts do not specify an explicit encoding yet, and, as I heard, some months ago the build environment for our releases changed from some western Windows to Linux with a locale using UTF-8 encoding. I would like to draw your attention that there is such SVN keyword as $Date$, that expands to UTF-8 string containing localized month and day of week names. E.g.: $Revision: 776947 $ $Date: 2009-05-21 08:33:21 +0400 (Чт, 21 май 2009) $ That makes the files that use that keyword de-facto UTF-8 on non-English locales. More on svn keywords: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html A workaround would be to either limit the string width (e.g. $Date:: 2009-05-21 08:33:21 #$) or to use $Id$ instead. Do we officially acknowledge that the sources are UTF-8? What explicit encoding should be specified in javac and javadoc tasks in our build files? ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 ?
