Matthias Bläsing commented on RAT-242:
--------------------------------------
I had another look at it and the unittests currently run correctly. I suggest
to close this for now and reopen/contact me if it surfaces again. For the
record things that could go wrong:
* the JVM could deny access to the system properties and thus the needed
latin1 encoding can't be set for the invocation of the test (should raise an
exception)
* parallel test runs (threaded in the same VM) would also expose the unittests
to race conditions (the default encoding is set VM wide)
* different VM implementations could use different fields/caching strategies
for the default file encoding (I'd expect an exception then)
* JVM might not make the field accessible (relevant for JDK 9), should also
raise an exception
I hoped to get some more insight, but from the look all should be good.

> Hi, we encounter an issue with encoding of a xml rat report.
> We try to parse an xml rat report generated on an iso-8859-1 file system. The
> xml has no encoding element in the prolog. If you open it with fileinpustream
> it may fail.
> last comment in this pull request
> (https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/70) by Matthias Bläsing
> suggest forcing to UTF-8.
> encoding may also be an option in the report task
> Regards
