I'm thinking you need to use a UTF-8 String, something like
byte[] theBytes = fArray[i].getBytes();
String inUTF8 = new String(theBytes, "UTF8");
then list.add the inUTF8 String
I haven't compiled this and run it, but there's the general idea, the
same thing I had to do for dnd with odd filenames

I've run into a peculiar problem with a Java swing app as a drag
source and files with locale specific characters embedded as part of
the absolute path or in the filename. For example if any part of the
absolute path or the name of the file contains a character such as ó
as in the filename abcódef.txt, the target of the drop such as
Finder will not accept the drop. If I remove the ó from the
filename, the drop is successful. If I drag the same file from one
Finder to another Finder window while the filename contains the ó
everything works correctly.
The DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor is the only data transfer flavor
supported in this code and the getTransferData() method confirms the
file exists before adding it to the resulting list. At least from a
jvm perspective the File instance is valid.
public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor) throws
UnsupportedFlavorException, IOException {
List list = new ArrayList();
for (int i=0; i<fArray.length; i++) {
if (fArray[i].exists()) {
list.add(fArray[i]);
}
}
return list;
}
Dropping the file from the java swing app to different targets also
exhibits the same failure.
Mac OS X version is 10.4.7. Java version is 1.5.0_06. Any
suggestions on how to work around this problem?
Thanks,
