I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough. I estimate the size of the whole application and its dependencies in a hundred thousand lines or so; on the other hand, the workaround, as I explained, is just one line of code. That's why I called it "the tiniest workaround" :) To clarify even more, it's not that I have written that much code myself, but I rely on many packages from 3rd parties and so I'm counting those in. Anyway, I ended up unofficially maintaining many of those packages. Note that I'm talking of Java packages and not Debian packages. That reminds me with another problem I faced with 3rd party packages (but only two of them and it only affected 10-15 files). The IBM compiler expects UTF-8 encoded files and rejects anything else (that is, without passing the -encoding switch), whereas the Sun compiler is a bit more lenient and also accepts non-conforming files (I think it assumes a Latin-1 encode if they're not valid UTF-8).
