Russian text in Apache Forrest files

Hello!

If I enter a text in Russian in the file given below, I get the error

<output>
BUILD FAILED
C:\Programme\apache-forrest-0.5.1-bin\forrest.build.xml:851: Could not
validate
document
C:\work\demetrix\homepage-work\homepage-src\src\documentation\content\x
docs\demetrix\contact.xml
</output>

I inserted Russian text as any other text, without enclosing it with
any special tags, ie

<p>
Äìèòðèé Ïèñàðåíêî
</p>

How can I avoid the above error?

Thanks in advance

PS0: If I remove the Russian text, the site is built without
complaints.
PS1: Here is the file, which causes the error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Thanks for your help!

Using JEdit I stored the file in UTF-8 and could build the web-site
properly.

Best regards

- Check whether you preferred editor has something like an
  "coding" or "encoding" or "character set" choice in the "save"
  or "save as" dialog. Windows Notepad has one since W2K.
- Manual method: Use character references in the XML. Check
  http://www.unicode.org
  for the code point numbers.
- Use a conversion utility. I use iconv on cygwin
  http://www.cygwin.com

Hello!

Thanks for your response!

Do you know how to convert Russian text from Windows 1251 to UTF-8?

TIA

This seems to be Windows 1251 encoding (cyrillic) rather than UTF-8.
I'd suggest to check the encoding again, and perhaps run the file
through some other validation tool, like xmllint from libxml2 (available
with cygwin), in order to get a more detailed problem description.

I'm afraid I know nothing of international characters etc. however, as a 
workaround until someone with more expertise responds you could turn off 
validation. This is done in the forrest.properties file. This will get 
you started at least.
