Surely the ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) character set supports most accents in Latin languages, so there should be no need to use Unicode escapes for these? Looks to me like the problem with the Spanish version is due to a packaging error in the tomcat-I18n-es.jar file, which contains corrupted copies of the original files. Using Unicode escapes should prevent this packing error from recurring, but seems rather a drastic measure, as it makes the properties files rather harder to read.

I would have expected it to work but it appears that it doesn't. It is probably related to the users default platform encoding. I suspect the issues are when a user is using something other than ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 but I haven't done any testing to prove this.

The issue appears to be wider than that.

Preventing the packaging error is not my primary motivation with these patches. My primary motivation is making sure these files work as intended for all users. In the rare cases where someone needs to work on these files and wants to do it in native form it is trivial to use native2ascii to convert the files to native form, edit them and then convert them back.

Based on the javadoc for the properties class [1] it should be ISO-8859-1 with any characters that cannot be expressed in that encoded escaped using Unicode escapes. The file java/org/apache/catalina/manager/LocalStrings_es.properties appears mostly to be ASCII characters but it has a few 16-bit unicode chars stuck in it, which then get interpreted as 2 8-bit chars because there is no Unicode mark at the top of the file. For example the file contains, on line 33, the Spanish word for configuration as Configuraci\u00F3n - 14 characters including a null byte I think this was the case for 6.0.18 but trunk has been fixed, at least for the Spanish messages, by [2]. I believe that Eclipse wrecks properties files in just this way if you make the mistake of editing them in Eclipse, but I don't know if that's what happened here. I think this is just how the files were originally contributed. Looks like we need to run native2ascii over a quite a few French and German files.
