[Java-gnome-developer] java encoding problems

[pancake <pa...@ph...>]

I've written a small program to check a encoding problem that I had
suffer with java. I think java-gnome has nothing to do here, but

I would like to fix this localization bugs for the next version of gdvb.

http://news.nopcode.org/Encoding.tar.gz

It reads two files (one with utf8 and the another one in iso8859),
and the output is:

Using ISO8859_1 for file hello-UTF8
 =3D> Contents: 'H=C3=A8llo W=C3=B3rld =C3=A7=C3 =C3=B1=C3'
Using ISO8859_1 for file hello-ISO8859
 =3D> Contents: 'H=E8llo W=F3rld =E7=C7 =F1=D1'

It looks like Java doesn't gets the file encoding automagically, but
I don't know how to set the charset for the FileReader class. BTW
the other question is..when I've read the string .. do I have to
reencode't to the system's default encoding ?

The program creates a java-gtk window and shows both strings.

The utf8 file was generated by iconv -t UTF8 from the iso8859 one
(my system uses iso8859).


Thanks.

I can't really make any authoritative comments either way, but GNOME
(and GTK underneath it) is fully internationalized. Whenever I enter a
unicode character (with Compose key or gnome-charmap or whatever) into
an Entry I have no problems, either with java-gnome or with asking for
getText() for the java String [which is composed of Characters, which
are multi-byte...]

Jikes has some issues with unicode characters in source code - for
example, I use \u00bb rather than » directly in hard coded Strings so
that Jikes doesn't do stupid things on me.
