            <p>I came across an java database administration tool for postgresql called <a href="https://www.raditha.com/~raditha/blog/archives/000347.html">XPG</a>. However I immidately ran into problems when attampting to compile it. That's because the source files contains non ASCII characters - since that character sequence is part of the authors name, it's fair enough!</p>
            <p>Apparently it compiles fine under java.4 but fails only with java 5 (1.5.0), at any rate someone had filed a <a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5046139">bug report</a> as such. The developers of the SDK has claimed it's not a bug but to use the <em>-encoding</em> flag for <em>javac</em>.</p>
            <p>So that's what I did, edited the Makefile for XPG and added <em>-encoding c232</em> as a parameter to <em>javac</em> and the error message (<em>unmappable character for encoding UTF8</em>) disappeared. So if you are having trouble compiling xpg that's something you might want to try.</p>
