encoding of recentFiles.xml is not really UTF-8

[lovetide]

I use a Simplified Chinese Windows Professional 2000 operating system, jdk1.5.0_08 installed, the default charset encoding is GBK.

#

Directory which I used to save my reports may contain Chinese characters, each time i start iReport, the "recent file" menu is empty. I opened recentFiles.xml and I found it's not encoded as it declared: UTF-8.

#

I checked the source code of iReport 1.2.6, in

"it.businesslogic.ireport.gui.MainFrame", Line 8265, I found that when writing to XML file, string does not do some charset encoding conversion.

#

And, maybe there are some others case like this when writing other xml.

#

#

by the way: I edited "it.businesslogic.ireport.gui.MainFrame.java", Line 8265, change 'file' to 'new String(file.getBytes(), "UTF-8")'.

 

I want to rebuild it, I got an exception:
