Delete task failed to remove French file name

[Babas1]

Hi all,
As you know, french language includes some stressed characters like é, à, etc
I have a file called "BD_Modèle.sql" in a "src" folder.

I use Ant 1.6.5 on Unix and the task <delete dir="src"/> fails saying :
Unable to delete file /export/home/wasapps/src/BD_Mod?le.sql
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Delete.removeDir(Delete.java:594)
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Delete.removeDir(Delete.java:587)

Could anyone hep me ?

On the face of it, it looks as if Ant is using a non-Unicode encoding for filenames. I've done a little digging and there is an ant property you can use to alter its file encoding.

<property name="file.encoding" value="[b][i]Your encoding[/i][/b]"/>

You'd need to specify the Unicode encoding which contains the French accented characters.

I haven't tried this but it's worth a try.
