Well you should not be getting bytes from a String. A String is a set of Characters. Some characters may fit into bytes, but some are wider.
Also, remember that the length of a String is the number of characters not the number of bytes into which those characters may be encoded. -- BJ Hargrave Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM OSGi Fellow and CTO of the OSGi Alliance [EMAIL PROTECTED] office: +1 386 848 1781 mobile: +1 386 848 3788 From: Holger Mense <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Equinox development mailing list <equinox-dev@eclipse.org> Date: 2008/07/10 02:37 AM Subject: Re: [equinox-dev] Equinox and UTF-8 Hi, On Wed, 9 Jul 2008 15:45:03 -0400, Oleg Besedin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > To get more consistent results, use String.getBytes("UTF8").

If that is > true, it might explain why you see different outputs. I don't think that this is the reason of the watched behaviour. Executing the same code without a running Equinox framework leads to the correct identical result in- and outside Eclipse. When running it in an Equinox instance, both results differ. So it looks for me like an Equinox issue. Currently I am migrating a bigger application on top of Equinox. The last days I was working to get it to start again outside my development environment. That was the time where a detected the watched behaviour. -- Holger Mense _______________________________________________ equinox-dev mailing list equinox-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/equinox-dev
