Hi

I am not sure this is the right forum. If not i apologize.

When running the mass tool on code that looks like this (substitute the html code for the actual character):

public String universität;
public String bel&oring;b;

the tool fails like this:

ERROR: 'Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.'
ERROR: 'com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.'

file:///home/weblogic/mass/trunk/data/applicationA.DependencyExtractor.xml; Line #20818; Column #79; XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

the offending character is the ø, ä etc. characters.

(the above error message is obtained running the tool in question directly: /home/weblogic/mass/trunk/tools/depfinder/bin/DependentsToHTML -in /home/weblogic/mass/trunk/data/applicationA.DependencyExtractor.xml)

The applicationA.DependencyExtractor.xml starts off like this:

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

Is there any way to work around this problem? (short of changing the code?)
