Good suggestions, but my terminal can definitely display UTF-8 properly: hitman@bigdog ~/t/t/apache-ant-1.8.2$ bin/ant foo2 Buildfile: /Users/hitman/t/t/apache-ant-1.8.2/build.xml foo2: [echo] [Test ?] BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds hitman@bigdog ~/t/t/apache-ant-1.8.2$ cat foo.properties foo.propert=Test ế I had mentioned in a previous message, it looks like it works fine under linux, but not under OSX given identical build.xml and foo.properties files. thanks, rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
