Java 7 can't understand some chars
 

Hi:

I've updated OmegaT for F15 and F16[1] without novelty. But compiling in rawhide showed a strange to me error: «error: unmappable character for encoding ASCII»[2].


In a first approach the suspects were some strange coded chars (which 1.6 can eat, btw) but after patching them I found in local tests the same error with the*'ß' letter [3]. The file codification seems to be common UTF-8.


I'm not a programmer at all but this sounds _very_ weird to me. Is anybody aware if openjdk 1.7 has some bug related with UNICODE or similar? I didn't find anything like this in BZ. Any other idea?

Hi Ismael,

This is expected behaviour with Java 7. Until Java 6, encoding errors
were only presented as warnings. Now they are errors:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javac.html

"This is the default value. No language changes were introduced in Java
SE 6. However, encoding errors in source files are now reported as
errors, instead of warnings, as previously."

You can get around it by specifying -source 1.6, but fixing the source
is a better fix IMO.

Cheers,
Deepak

Thanks for the tip! I fixed it[1]
btw,*which is the default encoding for openjdk?*

How does one fix the source?

By removing the encoding errors. The problem only occurs if there is an
error in the encoding i.e. file contains characters not defined by
that encoding.

It is set by the system. You can check for it by printing the
file.encoding system property. On Fedora, it should default to UTF-8.
