Javadoc problems on non-ascii char

Hi,

When building the javadoc I get lots of warnings reported for 
occurrences of Matthias Wessendorf's name, presumably because of the use 
of a German double-s character.

     [javac] 
/home/skitching/workdir/myfaces/current/examples/tiles/src/java/org/apache/myfaces/tiles/example/DemoActionListener.java:23: 
warning: unmappable character for encoding UTF8
     [javac]  * @author <a href="mailto:matzew@apache.org">Matthias 
We�endorf</a>


Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

Thanks,

Simon

Thanks very much Matthias.

There may be some alternative like ensuring all the .java files start 
with a UTF8 byte-order-mark or somesuch to tell the java tools that the 
contents of the file is unicode, not ascii. However using "ss" is 
probably the easiest solution..

Regards,

Simon

Simon,

well I'll convert the german umlaut (ß) into its equal (ss)

HTH,
