Character Encoding?

[RobertFischer]

Attempting a build on my UTF-8 OS-X installation, I get the following errors:

What encoding should be used? Can you put that into the mvn config?

I will take a look. It should be fine in UTF-8, but looks like there are a few bad characters in there somehow.

Thanks for pointing this out. Encog should work with UTF-8. I modified the POM file to reflect this. This will also cause my Hudson/Maven builds to fail when this gets violated in a source file. Once I added this directive my builds began failing just as yours was. I then fixed all of the offending characters and all seems fine now!

Awesome! Thank you!
