* Mark Wielaard:

 We seem to have some troubles with classpath.org domain.

Do you need any help with resolving the issue?  Is it some kind of
billing problem?

 There is no GNU extension (yet) that van work around this that I'm aware
 of.

Do you think this (i.e. non-accessible files) is a problem at all?

 You get the arguments as String[] args:

 byte[][] data = new byte[args.length][];
 for (int i = 0; i  args.length; i++) {
   data[i][] = args[i].getBytes();
 }

Doesn't work, really, those strange bytes have already been dropped
by the startup code. 8-(

 Does files really contain such filenames with weird characters in the wild
 out there ?

It can easily happen if you have two users with different LC_CTYPE
settings.

Most users I know avoid non-ASCII characters in file names like hell,
but this is by no means a universal standard.

 I dont think this a real problem for now. We can just tell them to
 rename the files and it will work if needed.

This depends on what your application does. 8-/

Multi-byte locales

[Florian Weimer]

It seems that with Sun's JDK, some files are unaccessible if you run
in a multi-byte locale (something which uses UTF-8, for example)
because it's not possible to specify an UTF-16 string which is encoded
to the name of the file you are interested, provided that the file has
a name which is not a valid character sequence in the current locale.
(This is not a big deal on UCS-2/UTF-16 platforms, but I'm not really
sure what the designers thought when they tried to fit this model on
UNIX.)

Is there some GNU extension which can work around this issue?  On a
related note, is it possible to access the command line as an array of
byte arrays?
