Dear Jochen,
More info I found from MANIFEST.MF:
I found that the official groovy-all-1.7.5.jar distributed in grails
1.3.5 was built with JDK 1.7.0-ea (Sun Microsystems Inc.). I guess the
"ea" means early access version. So I don't believe I could ever use the
exactly same JDK to compile the groovy source. How am I supposed to find
an early access version?
Anyway, this is a less important question. As mentioned in previous
email, I mainly want to know whether it's expected or required, to
compile binary .class files which are identical to the officially
distributed ones, when we try to rebuild groovy on our own.

Dear Jochen,
Also, after compiling the groovy-all-1.7.5.jar, I extracted the jar,
and extracted the official jar distributed in grails 1.3.5, and
compare between the two extracted folders.
Out of 3371 files, 256 files (254 binary files + 2 text files) are
different, and the rest are identical.
For the 2 different text files, I have checked and they should be ok.
For the 254 binary files, however, I am not sure whether this is normal.
Of course, I haven't modified any source codes at all. At least not yet.
My question is:
Is it expected or required, to have exact binary .class files compiled
when we try to rebuild groovy? My compiled jar does have nearly 3000
binary class files being identical to the those in the official jar,
only 254 binary files are different.

Dear Jochen,
Then why do I have to set
encoding="utf-8"
in groovyc commands in the build.xml to force it to UTF-8,
If no encoding is set, the system encoding is used and that could be
for example GB2312 or Big5 or even only ASCII
while the official source distribution can omit this and the Groovy
developers can still compile the source of Groovy 1.7.5 correctly?
because we work on linux and mac systems. I am using UTF8 as system
default for over 10 years now.
Which settings in the system am I missing?
On Windows? sorry, cannot help here really. Windows is not know to be
friendly to such changes at all.
bye Jochen
