Hi Daniel,
I am using NetBeans 3.6 which certainly is unicode aware. Yet, NetBeans seems not to detect that the source files of Lucene are UTF-8 encoded automatically. I guess that it uses the platform specific default encoding which is ISO-8859-1 for my Linux operating system.
I think what Java lacks is a means to indicate the encoding of source files (e.g. <?java encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> in a XMLish way). The encoding has to be fed into the system from the outside. What else could be the reason for having an encoding switch to the java compiler? Therefore I think it is best to have Java source files to be plain ASCII.
Cheers, --Stefan

Your editor / IDE needs to be unicode aware and you have to set it up accordingly. That and the fact that build.xml specifies the encodig explicitly should make everything work, no matter what your default encoding is.
In order to make the source of the german analyzer class platform
independent I propose to use the corresonding Java unicode escapes where
the special characters are used.
That makes the source more difficult to read.
