Having a problem with Eclipse and building files with foreign characters in the file name? If you are developing software, then read and follow this advice:
“Do ❗ NOT ❗ use foreign characters in file names, paths or for anything else!”
What I mean with ‘foreign characters’ are things like éöüàäü, or simply anything which is outside the 7bit ASCII or Windows-1252 code page table, even if they are allowed by the file system of your operating system (e.g. Windows).
Or in other words: only use these characters for file or directory names:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGEHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890_
