Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When using the ANT version provided by WebSphere Application
Server and the IBM JRE for Application Server, some of the ANT
tasks contained corrupted output. When the commands are
executed from a command prompt, the characters were displayed
properly.  However, when the same commands are executed within
an ANT script, the French charaters are printed as question
marks '?' on a National Language Supported system.

for example <wsadmin> ANT task

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The text output from the WebSphere      *
*                      Application Server Ant tasks may fail   *
*                      to display special characters on        *
*                      non-English systems.                    *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
In certain situations the text output from any WebSphere
Application Server Ant task may fail to display correctly.
For example, the ? French character may be displayed as a ?.

Problem conclusion

The WebSphere Application Server Ant tasks now set the
console.encoding system property to the JVM file encoding to
ensure that special characters are displayed correctly on
non-English systems.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 6.0.2.35, 6.1.0.25, and 7.0.0.5.  Please refer to the
