Thanks Eric.
It looks like build.xml brings in
$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/ant/build.xml, and Android's build.xml uses
{java.encoding}:
$ cat "$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/ant/build.xml" | grep -A 10 javac
...
<javac encoding="${java.encoding}"
source="${java.source}" target="${java.target}"
debug="true" extdirs="" includeantruntime="false"
destdir="${out.classes.absolute.dir}"
bootclasspathref="project.target.class.path"
verbose="${verbose}"
classpathref="project.javac.classpath"
fork="${need.javac.fork}">
<src path="${source.absolute.dir}" />
<src path="${gen.absolute.dir}" />
<compilerarg line="${java.compilerargs}" />
</javac>
I tried adding the following to the project's build.xml (not Android's
build.xml), but with no joy. It results in same/similar errors:
<project>
...
<property name="java.encoding" value="ascii" />
</project>
I also tried to add the following to the project's build.xml (not
Android's build.xml):
<project>
...
<javac encoding="ascii" />
</project>
But it results in:
build.xml:115: srcdir attribute must be set!
I know ASCII is probably wrong. I'm just trying to get a toehold on
the fix at the moment).
How, exactly, do I specify the 'encoding' attribute to the <javac> task?
Sorry to ask. I'm not sure where the delineation between Ant problems
and Android problems occurs (should I be asking on an Android list?).
And all of this is modulo the problem of me being inexperienced and
wondering why comments are not being ignored (ignoring comments would
make this a non-sequitur).
