Bug#507089: a little more info

[Carsten Pfeiffer]

kaffe apparently has its own copy of classpath, so the difference is no 
surprise.

Also, the problem is related to the file.encoding property, and 
File.canWrite() is not the actual problem, but File.exists().

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Bla {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //System.setProperty("file.encoding", "UTF-8");
        File tempFile = new 
File("/tmp/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/test-dir-write11fd33add11_1.tmp");
        System.out.println("exists: " + tempFile.exists());
}

As is, the program correctly shows that the file does not exist. If you 
comment in the System.setProperty() call, the program now tells you that the 
file exists, even though it does not.

When specifying file.encoding on the commandline with -Dfile.encoding=... it 
works both for UTF-8 and ISO-88591.

Hmm, now I'm not sure anymore about the encoding. If I leave out setting of 
file.encoding, but instead call System.getProperties() once at the beginning, 
File.exists() also returns true. Independent of whether or how I specify 
file.encoding on the commandline.

Here's my properties:
