A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Here is my source :
class BonneMatin???e {
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
System.out.println("Bonne matin???e");
}
}
 It's well compiled with javac and well executed with java, when I launch the commands in a DOS Window.

But if a launch the JVM from the following BAT file (in the same directory than BonneMatin???e.java and BonneMatin???e.class):

java BonneMatin???e
PAUSE

The JVM throws the following Exception :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : BonneMatin<the graphical character whose ASCII code is 218>e

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) edit and compile the following source in the same directory "foo":

class BonneMatin???e {
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
System.out.println("Bonne matin???e");
}
}

2) edit in the directory "foo" the following BAT file called BonneMatin???e.bat :
java BonneMatin???e
pause

3) call the bat file in a DOS Window, from the "foo" directory

EXPECTED -
I am expecting to see the message "Bonne matin???e" printed in the DOS Window
ACTUAL -
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : BonneMatin<the graphical character whose ASCII code is 218>e
