  Windows XP
  Rational Business Developer 8.0.1
  Problem Description:
  During EGL generation, There is an outofmemoryexception due to
  using special symbols in the build descriptor like the euro
  symbol ?
  The problem is due to writing the properties file from the build
  descriptor in UTF8 encoding and using the default encoding when
  reading from the properties file, which causes the error
  
  The solution is to read the properties file in UTF-8 not the
  default codepage.

  During JavaScript generation, there is an OutOfMemoryError
  when certain symbols are used in the build descriptor, as
  the values for certain build descriptor options.  For
  example, the problem can happen when the currencySymbol is
  set to the euro symbol ?.  The problem is due to writing a
  properties file from the build descriptor in the UTF-8
  encoding, but using the default encoding when reading from
  the properties file.
  

Problem conclusion

• RBD now reads the properties file in UTF-8, not the default
  encoding.
