Specifying java files encoding through javatools
 

*Hello.

*I'm trying to package Ejs (http://fem.um.es/Ejs/) and learn the process and tools to use on the way.

*- I downloaded the source package, unzip and rename to ejs-4.3.4


*- I used jh_makepkg to build the debian files skeleton (with debian/rules like : '%: dh --with javahelper $@")
*- I will have to adjust those files, for dependencies at least, and then invoke debian/rules build to get a .deb file (am i right ?)


*
*My blocking problem is I don't see where/how to specify source files are in ISO-8859-1
*
*Also am I on the good path ? Is it better to use jh when possible (Ejs seems to be easy, plain java, no code generation, etc), or should I go for a ant or maven build file immediately (where encoding is easy to handle..)


*Any help appreciated :-)

well, dpkg-buildpackage is better than invoking debian/rules directly. You'll
have to tweak several of the files under debian/, including certainly
changelog, copyright and control, probably also including sommme install files.

I thought Java files were always utf8?

Well, it should be easy to do with jh_build, but there's nothing stopping you
writing a build.xml for ant - dh7 should pick that up automatically too.
Regardless, you should use the rest of javahelper.

I thought Java files were always utf8?


*Class files/java internals are UTF-8, but source files are not necessarily.

override_jh_build:
jh_build -o"-encoding ISO-8859-1"

should do it, you can specify arbitrary extra options to javac this way.
