Re: [Java-gnome-developer] java encoding problems

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

The example that I have submitted the last day it was just for handling p=
lain text
files. If you're using MessageBundles to handle the localization strings =
you must
do another thing.

As I read in some mailing list there's a "bug" in JDK that forces all Mes=
sageBundle
files parsing to be in iso-8859-15 format. So, the right way is to write =
all
MessageBundles in iso-8859-15 encoding instead of utf-8.

I fixed this in the gdvb-git repo. And now everything is ok :) I've teste=
d this on
a iso-8859-15 system and "elektranox" on a utf8 environ.

I'll update the localization tutorial in the java-gnome wiki.
