Well, something isn’t UTF-8…apache reports invalid bytes and expectation of UTF-8, so maybe your app needs to explicitly have headers or settings - I do not know but I noticed the error and thought it might be, since if you had UTF-8 all the way, I’m sure you’d not see that error

git clone git://github.com/wocommunity/wonder.git WonderSource

cd WonderSource/

mvn validate -e -X
