(i18n) The VM does not handle i18n issues related to class file names correctly

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • generic, x86, sparc
    • generic, solaris_2.5.1, solaris_9, windows_95, windows_nt

    Description

      The VM treats class file names on disk as UTF8 strings, although they
      can be in arbitrary platform encoding.

      As a result, if the programmer creates a class file using a name that
      includes, for example, Japanese characters, the VM will not be able
      to read it correctly.
