and Im still getting a problem that files containing certain chars are not failing file.exists(); Is this the issue discussed that is meant to be fixed in 7u12 ? 7130915 is fixed in 7u12, 8003228 is not. As I said in the previous mail, I think these issues have been mixed up (for understandable reasons).

For 8003228 then we need to get an authoritative reference before fixing the value of sun.jnu.encoding to UTF-8. Scott may be able to provide this. In the mean-time then setting your locale appropriately is the workaround.

Also do you have an eta for when 7u10 final , and 7u12 final will be available ?

I just checked the 7u12 page [1] and it doesn't look like a GA date has been published yet.
