garbage characters when specifying properties on the ANT command
line
This only happens to a few machines and don't know what causes it:
executing: build target -Dverbose=true
results in an error message:
Target "ûDverbose" does not exist in the project "MyProject".
You can see that the minus sign is being changed to a garbage character and, therefore, being interpreted as another target to run instead of a property setting.
Any ideas? I am thinking it has to be an environment problem as it only happens on a few machines. I have only seen this happen on windows machines.

Yes, you are right. I copied and pasted the command from an email and since the email was HTML based, it must have translated the character into something besides ASCII 45. If I manually typed the command it worked properly. Thanks for the quick response.

The "-" being typed on the command line is not an ASCII hyphen (\u002D), but is some other character that looks like a hyphen in the user's current code page.
