Errors running app in linux but not in Windows

[JohnST]

I made an app that works when I run it in Windows, but in Ubuntu the JTables are empty and I get the following errors:

com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 2 of 4-byte UTF-8 sequence.

Here is what is on line 687

table.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new AlbumListener());

Any ideas? I would like to get this app to work in Linux.

It looks like a character encoding issue. What does

[username@hostname ~] echo $LANG

...give you in your Linux shell?

Here is Javadoc for your problematic class:

Java > Open Source Codes > com > sun > org > apache > xerces > internal > impl > io > UTF8Reader _ Java API By Example, From Geeks To Geeks.

As you can see problem is in when you try to
UTF8Reader.read() a single character
but whatever is that you are trying to read
it is not UTF-8 encoded I guess.

Maybe it's was iso-8859-1 because it was Windows or cp-1252.

Thanks for the help, both of you. I'll have to look into it more when I get the chance.
