[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_02 ]

I just created a project with the name "Protégé".

The project creation wizard creates the top-level source package
"protégé" - are packages with accents allowed? If not then this is
obviously a bug...

Also, when building this new project from the project menu with
"Build" NB (or Ant?) creates a Jar-file with the accents replaced by
underscores (as seen in the output below)

...
Created dir: C:\development\Protégé\dist
Building jar: C:\development\Protégé\dist\Prot_g_.jar
Not copying the libraries.
To run this application from the command line without Ant, try:
java -jar "C:\development\Protégé\dist\Prot_g_.jar"
jar:

ant related?

Non-ASCII characters are permitted in package names so long as your operating system supports such characters properly
in file paths. I know it works fine on Linux; I would not put money on it working well on Windows, but it may.

The use of underscores in the JAR name is intentional, as a safety measure; any characters which are not known to be
safe are replaced with underscores. You can edit the final JAR name in project.properties if you prefer.
