invalid character error on eclipse docker using xming on windows

Question

Inavlid Character error in eclipse on docker

I have created a container using file similar to https://github.com/batmat/docker-eclipse/blob/master/Dockerfile on docker installed on windows 7.I did need to make a change of setting the locale first in dockerfile. I tried with both en_US.UTF8 and en_IN.UTF8.

When I start the container I am successfully able to open the eclipse in xming but eclipse is giving invalid character error on double quotes.(Probably on some other characters)

Is there any other change/setting I need to do?

Answer 1

This does not look like a file encoding problem (because the syntax error is not displayed at the first character), but that instead of ASCII quotation marks (") similar looking characters (e. g. ＂, ײ, ״, ʺ, etc.) were used.

Replace line 17 with the following line:

System.out.println("Hello There");
