I wrote a groovy script like,

----HelloUtf8.groovy (saved with UTF8)
println "こんにちは";

then, executed this and it resulted like,

$ groovy -c UTF8 HelloUtf8.groovy
Caught: BUG! exception in phase 'parsing' in source unit 'HelloUtf8.groovy' char
setName

so, I checked "GROOVY_1_0/src/main/groovy/ui/GroovyMain.java"
where getting encoding from command line.

It's found that 'main.conf.setSourceEncoding(line.getOptionValue("encoding"))' returned null,
and 'main.conf.setSourceEncoding(line.getOptionValue('c'))' returned "UTF-8".

and 'main.conf.setSourceEncoding(line.getOptionValue('c'))' returned "UTF-8".

should be fixed now... I had strange problem with the encoding options... on linux --encoding=UTF8 was correctly recognized, on windows groovy thought I wanted to open a file named UTF8. But this seems not to be a bug in Groovy, but in commons-cli.

Anyway I got it working by doing the following:

I set the file.encoding property to UTF8
I started groovy with 'groovy --encoding=UTF8 HelloUtf8.groovy > out.txt'
I used Firefox to view out.txt and set the encoding to UTF8 to verify the characters there look like these in HelloUtf8.groovy

If you wonder why I do it that complicated... it is really like hell telling windows to use UTF8 correctly on the console. In the end I gave up, because I found no font displaying japanese characters. I have one for chinese using the encoding gb2312, but that's no of much help here. It was much more easy using Firefox.

So I mark it as fixed for now
