    <p>I'm trying to update a application, running mainly on Mac OSX, from Java6 to Java7. It occurs that files beeing creating with some special characters in the filename e.g. "föhn.txt" are beeing created as "f?hn.txt" with Java7.</p> <p>If you run this sort example on a Mac</p> <pre><code>File file = new File("föhn.txt"); file.createNewFile(); </code></pre> <ul> <li>with Java6: föhn.txt</li> <li>with Java7: f?hn.txt</li> </ul> <p>I know there're simular threads for this topic:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10106161/encoding-of-file-names-in-java">Encoding of file names in Java</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/361975/setting-the-default-java-character-encoding">Setting the default Java character encoding?</a></li> </ul> <p>and I've tryed to set JVM argument: <code>-Dfile.encoding=UTF8</code> but this has no effect to the filename. Compiler and source are set to utf-8. I've no idea why this is not working with Java7 on OS X.</p> <p>Update: I've tried the example within eclipse and Netbeans and the final application is bundled with the jdk (appbundler).</p> <p>Mac OS X uses a decomposed UTF-8 format: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3610013/file-listfiles-mangles-unicode-names-with-jdk-6-unicode-normalization-issues">File.listFiles() mangles unicode names with JDK 6 (Unicode Normalization issues)</a></p> <p>And a blog about this topic: <a href="http://shlrm.org/blog/2012/10/04/osx-java-utf-8-oh-my/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://shlrm.org/blog/2012/10/04/osx-java-utf-8-oh-my/</a></p> <p>This helps reading filenames but I've not found a solution for creating new files with the correct encoded filename.</p>

    1. COJust made a test with Java 7 (1.7.0_06-ea) on OS X 10.7.5 and it creates the file with the correct name, shown correctly both in Terminal and Finder. Source file saved as UTF-8, no special switches on neither jvm nor the compiler. It is tested from the command line.

    2. COThanks for testing. I'm using 1.7.0_13 on OS X 10.8.2 and 10.7.5. I will try with an older Java version. Maybe a bug :-/

    3. CO@Monolo you're right. Also works for me if I compile and run from command line, strange.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
