Hello Stefan, I have found out that the root cause of the test failures found is the java vm running with file.encoding set to ASCII.
The tests that fail are written in such a way that they assume that Ant is running with file.encoding=UTF-8 which is the default it seems in a lot of Java 1.6 VMs (but not all). Also, by default StringResource instances have a "null" encoding, which works when the encoding of the VM is UTF-8. I am making a change to change the default encoding of StringResource to "UTF-8" which seems to lead to better results when the VM is running under ASCII encoding ( ANSI_X3.4-1968 precisely). Also, I found out that the <contains/> selector needs an encoding attribute to have a chance to do its job when the encoding of the files to select is different from the default encoding of the JVM. I am addressing that by adding an encoding attribute on the contains selector.
