“Unmappable character for encoding UTF-8” error

I\'m getting a compile error at the following method.

public static boolean isValidPasswd(String passwd) {
    String reg = \"^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-         


        

Answer 1

I'm in the process of setting up a CI build server on a Linux box for a legacy system started in 2000. There is a section that generates a PDF that contains non-UTF8 characters. We are in the final steps of a release, so I cannot replace the characters giving me grief, yet for Dilbertesque reasons, I cannot wait a week to solve this issue after the release. Fortunately, the "javac" command in Ant has an "encoding" parameter.
