Re: removing byte order mark

[Alexey Solofnenko]

For some reason I have had the same problem on Solaris, but not on Windows even though both JDK version and all jars were the same. At the end I wrote a <scriptdef> that would fix all XML files not to have BOM mark. It looks like that:

 <scriptdef name="fixbom" language="jython">
   <attribute name="dir" type="location"/>
   <attribute name="extensions" type="text"/>
   <![CDATA[
#fixbom
import os
import fileutils
import utils
import pre

dir=str(attributes.get("dir"))
extensions=utils.makeSet(str(attributes.get("extensions")))

def getType(name):
 idx=name.rfind('.')
 if idx<0: return name.lower()
 else: return name[idx:].lower()

def fixFiles(arg, dir_name, names):
 for name in names:
   if extensions.has_key(getType(name)):
     path=dir_name+os.sep+name
     content=fileutils.readFileBin(path)

       self.log("Removing BOM '"+path+"'...")
       fileutils.writeFileBin(path, content[3:])

os.path.walk(dir, fixFiles, None)
   ]]>
 </scriptdef>

A 3rd party ant task is getting the error, I'm sure it's not a problem
with
ant itself. This is the reason why I'd like to just remove the BOMs
(they're
not necessary) so I don't have to mess with the 3rd party tasks.

Although, I wonder why the same task would run fine in OS X and not run
in
XP.... I have to look at it more I guess...

Anyways, what's an easy way to remove the BOM?

This shouldnt happen; xerces should handle it. Can you post the build
file as an attachment, and the error message?
