https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45495

           Summary: Ant showing garbage I18N characters when option "-
                    propertyfile" is used.
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: yunpeng.zhang@sun.com


Sample testing Ant script:

<project>
    <target name="echo">
        <echo message="The input is: ${input}"/>
    </target>

</project>

Sample testing input property file:

input=部件名

The issue is found in both 1.7.1 and 1.6.5.

The problem:

1. If we put "input=部件名" in a property file and invoke ant using
"-propertyfile" option, we got garbage output, please see the following:

.\ant -f input.xml -propertyfile test.txt echo
Buildfile: input.xml

echo:
     [echo] The input is: ??????

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds

2. If we give the input ("input=部件名") directly from the ant command line,
everything just went fine, please see the following:

.\ant -f input.xml -Dinput=部件名 echo
Buildfile: input.xml

echo:
     [echo] The input is: 部件名

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds

Hi Steve

Thanks for the info, it seems I do not have this knowledge.

After I converted "部件名" (native) to "\u90e8\u4ef6\u540d" (ASCII) in my
Ant property file using native2ascii, JBI Ant starts to work fine for me,
please see the following:

dmin.xml:1059: 服务引擎列出失败。 [
ERROR:(UICMN2827)目标无效: 部件名. <--- it was ????? before. Pretend
that "部件名" is the target.
] 

I think it is working fine for me now, I am going to close it.

Does your property file conform to that of the java.util.Properties
specification? 

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html

Specifically the bit about encoding?

"This format uses the ISO 8859-1 character encoding. Characters that cannot be
directly represented in this encoding can be written using Unicode escapes  ;
only a single 'u' character is allowed in an escape sequence. The native2ascii
tool can be used to convert property files to and from other character
encodings."
