[dom4j-user] question about Unicode character processing

[RR]

I've searched and searched for my problem, and this is my last hope.
Apache Maven 1.x uses Dom4j for various xml processing and provides a
Jelly tag for parsing XML into a DefaultDocument. I'm experiencing
Unicode characters being translated into "?" and the hooks are
definitely not what I need.

I've replaced the 1.4 version shipped with Maven to 1.6.1 and have
created a simple test goal in order to replicate the behavior. I've
tried to two different ways of parsing the file, one through using a
StringReader that's opened a file in UTF-8, and the other using the
default xml:parse tag in Jelly. Both with the same results. So, my
question is, has anyone else experienced anything similar? Should I be
posting my question on the Maven list? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
-RR-

---begin sample xml---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
