[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2936?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] Geoffrey De Smet edited comment on JBRULES-2936 at 4/1/11 4:49 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Messing around with making the encoding configurable is clumsy. And it's hard to believe that modern xls files don't know their own encoding. Maybe using setExcel9file(false) might make a difference (probably not) We're using the latest version of jxl, version 2.6.10, so that's not it. First thing we need is 2 new tests: - one with a cp1252 xls file that looks for "ë (e a with a horizontal colon on top), ç (c with a tail), € (euro)" - one with a cp1250 xls file that looks for some Bulgarian/... text Without those tests we're blind to verify what we're doing. was (Author: ge0ffrey): Messing around with making the encoding configurable is clumsy.
