BTW, I didn't intend to write "nobody is going to help you", I meant to write "nobody is going to BE ABLE TO help you". Sorry for the shift in tone there.
Ant is a tool that invokes other tools. Your error is not coming from ant, so you need to provide the relevant information for us to be able to help. What you cite below is exactly what was missing from your first message, and makes it easy to help you. Your problem is with the java compiler, javvac. (That's from the [javac] at the start of the fline). It is telling you that the problem it is having is with the file Stuff.java, on line 23. I presume the file itself is fine. It tells you that it is trying to understand it as ascii, however. My point wasn't just that the files should be in UTF-8, but that ALL the TOOLS need to use UTF-8 as well. Ant will by default, but you're using more than just ant. In this case, javac is using ascii by default -- so you should tell it what encoding you're using. The Ant manual is at http://ant.apache.org/manual/; you can navigate from there to find the javac task. There, you'll find it takes an encoding= attribute, so supplying encoding='utf-8' should fix your problem!
