Combuster

I tried following up on that sentiment, and it appears your assumption is actually wrong: At any rate, I'm using an unmodified sun-jvm straight from my package manager on linux. Among the other top hits on google are mentions that even Mac OS defaults to non-UTF8 encoding, although MacRoman will probably act less violent about non-ASCII characters. Even a default install of a commercial grade tool like Maven will by default complain about character encoding, and I think we just figured out why.

Forge doesn't set up character encoding properly, which results in a broken run of install.sh. The problem can be fixed by adding "-encoding UTF-8" to the compiler arguments in conf/mcp.conf (forge overwrites it during installation) Please include the fix for the compiler arguments or make all sources use ASCII-7 encoding.
