OK. I have a simple test case and all seems to be well. See the end of this
message for the contents of my test files.
My environment:
Win XP SP2 - brave I know but all has been OK so far ;)
JDK 1.4.2_05
Tomcat 5.0 branch, HEAD (latest) from CVS (very close to 5.0.28)
Points to note:
1. All my test files are ASCII files.
2. I had all sorts of problems with non-ASCII properties files. I didn't get to
the bottom of it but I think Windows was adding junk to the start of the file if
it was UTF-8 encoded. Maybe having the first line as a comment would fix this
but I haven't tested this.
3. There were times where Eclipse and Windows were reporting the exact same file
as having different encodings. There is something odd here but I didn't look at
this any further.
4. I had property file issues with 4.1.HEAD as well as 5.0.HEAD.
5. The downside of using ASCII files is that entering the UTF-8 characters by
hand is a real pain. A simple conversion app should fix this though.
6. Apart from the property file issue, everything seems fine.
Test files follow.
Hope this helps,
Mark
