Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

Sorry for the late reply.

First of all, do you have a grouper client build after march 31st?

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-263

Second, I cant make this work on my computer, maybe my locale is wrong.  I 
cant even print out an umlaut if I tried.  Actually, the client works fine in 
eclipse, it prints it out fine.  So try the latest 1.4 branch.  Let me ask 
you a question (or anyone).

I have a sample test java program to print out an umlaut: Test.java

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("ä");
  }
}

When I run this in eclipse, it works fine.
When I run this in windows CMD, I get this (prints a sigma):

C:\mchyzer\isc\dev\grouper_v1_4\grouperClient\build\eclipseBin>java Test
Σ

When I run in linux, I get this (couple of "a" looking chars):

[mchyzer@flash
 pennGroupsClient-1.4.3]$ java Test
ä


If someone can help me set my locale or whatever to make this program work (I 
have already tried to do certain things to no avail), then I can help.  
Otherwise, I hope the latest 1.4 branch works... :)  btw, also make sure this 
is set in the grouper.client.properties (or tweak it to whatever you want it 
to be):

# this should probably be changed to UTF-8 for international charsets... for 
US it can be: ISO-8859-1
grouperClient.default.fileEncoding = UTF-8

Thanks,
Chris
