High ASCII in java code not compiling under Maven

[Jeffrey Bonevich]

Hello all!

I have a character encoding utility that turns high ASCII (i.e. ord 
value > 127) into HTML entities (so '�' which is unicode \u00e0 becomes 
'à').  In the code there is one big ol' honkin' switch statement 
with each high ascii character (that I care about) as a case, so:

switch( chr) {
  case '�': buf.append("&agrave"); break; ....
When I try to run my maven build goal, it will not compile this utility 
class, and I get a whole bunch of errors to the effect:
  case '?' already defined

If I run javac, no problemo.  Compiles just fine.  I played around with 
system encoding in the project.xml and maven.xml files (was UTF-8, also 
tried iso-8859-1), and in my OS (linux) to no avail.

Any clues?

(To get it to work, I eventually converted all the high ascii characters 
to their unicode values.  Painful, but it worked. ;-)
