Question

I’m trying to use the native2ascii ant task but it seems that is not doing anything. Here’s my ant task:

<target name="-pre-init">
        <native2ascii src="src/com/bluecubs/xinco/messages" dest="src/com/bluecubs/xinco/messages/test" 
        includes="**/_*.properties"/>
        <copy todir="src/com/bluecubs/xinco/messages">
            <fileset dir="src/com/bluecubs/xinco/messages/test"/>
        </copy>
        <delete dir="src/com/bluecubs/xinco/messages/test" />
</target>

I did the copy part to see if it was an overwriting issue but the files come out exactly the same.

This is the output I get when running the task:

Converting 12 files from Z:\Netbeans\Xinco\2.01.xx\Xinco\src\com\bluecubs\xinco\messages to Z:\Netbeans\Xinco\2.01.xx\Xinco\src\com\bluecubs\xinco\messages\test
Copying 12 files to Z:\Netbeans\Xinco\2.01.xx\Xinco\src\com\bluecubs\xinco\messages
Deleting directory Z:\Netbeans\Xinco\2.01.xx\Xinco\src\com\bluecubs\xinco\messages\test

Edit:

Additional information:
OS: Windows 7 (but answer should work on any OD)
File encoding: Western (ISO-8859-1) obtained with this article.

Files location

Any idea?

Answer 1

It ended being a view issue. Looking the files in a raw editor (i.e. Wordpad) showed that the files were already converted by the task. Viewing them from NetBeans shows them the same.
