Tossing that error message (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding) at Google, I quickly run into suggestions that there is an unescaped DOS filename in the properties file.
Did you edit that file and put filenames into it? If so, you need to either turn the backslashes in the file name into double backslashes or forward slashes.

When I come to try and build the sources with ant (1.7.0 or 1.6.1) I get the following error running "ant fresh_install" BUILD FAILED java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding. at java.util.Properties.loadConvert(Unknown Source) at java.util.Properties.load0(Unknown Source) at java.util.Properties.load(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Property.loadFile(Property.java:409) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Property.execute(Property.java:345) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute(UnknownElement.java:269) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:364) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:301) at org.apache.tools.ant.helper.ProjectHelper2.parse(ProjectHelper2.java:135 ) at org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper.configureProject(ProjectHelper.java:8 9) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:617) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.startAnt(Main.java:183) at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:197) at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:56) Total time: 0 seconds java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding. at java.util.Properties.loadConvert(Unknown Source) at java.util.Properties.load0(Unknown Source) at java.util.Properties.load(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Property.loadFile(Property.java:409) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Property.execute(Property.java:345) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute(UnknownElement.java:269) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:364) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:301) at org.apache.tools.ant.helper.ProjectHelper2.parse(ProjectHelper2.java:135 ) at org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper.configureProject(ProjectHelper.java:8 9) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:617) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.startAnt(Main.java:183) at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:197) at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:56) Malformed \uxxxx encoding. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I followed all the instructions from http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpaceOnWindows and changed all the file seperators in the dspace.cfg from "/" to "\". Also, I already have DSpace running under fedora. Can I just copy a few things from this installation to the XP box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
