Yes, Sun Java 1.4.2 cannot process BOM at the beginning of XML files. The
test fails in the XMLUtil.isValidXmlFile() method, because Sun's SAX parser
cannot process the UTF-8 BOM (signature). I can modify the test code to
assert that returned 'ecoding' string is not 'null'.
Hm, what should we do here? I had a similar problem with the parser
Sun Java 1.4.2 not supporting XML schema validation, which we have a
test case for.
I changed that so the test detects that schema validation isn't
supported and just returns without failing. I figured it was better
to not have our test suite fail on Sun Java 1.4.2 just because a few
(rarely used) features don't work.
