org.apache.uima.flow.impl.FixedFlowController.java

[Michael Baessler <mb...@michael-baessler.de>]

Hi,

the current org.apache.uima.flow.impl.FixedFlowController.java has some 
invalid UTF-8 characters in the "possible values" comment. So the file 
could not be read in my workspace.
I changed the bad characters and replaced them with a ":".

So all should be fine now.

Yes it happens when you cut/paste from a formatted document.  In my
case I think I copied that from the pdf for the documentation.  I know
I need to be on the lookout for curly quotes when I do that, but in
this case it was a dash that got me.

What would be nice is an Eclipse workspace preference setting to give
a warning or error if non-ASCII characters are in a source file.

I checked some other files - they say things in Eclipse (properties) like:
Text File Encoding: (checkbox checked) Default (inherited from 
container: Cp1252)

I'm not sure what the container is. 

Is this something we need to change globally?  Or is it just a minor 
issue in some files when
you cut/paste from some source (like MsWord) that might encode curly 
quotes, or something
else like that?

You can set your default text encoding to UTF-8.

Eclipse preferences -> General -> Workspace -> Text file encoding

Sorry about that.  Is there an Eclipse preference we can set to
prevent this from happening again?
