I am using Jsoup to parse html documents in a project i created in Netbeans. The html pages i parse are in Greek, UTF-8, and i have to identify some elements that contain specific Greek strings. This works well when i test the program in Netbeans:

Element element = record.select("td:containsOwn(διαθέσιμο)").first();

However, when I build a jar file and run it from the windows 7 command prompt, the program fails to find the element with the greek characters!

Netbeans encoding is set to UTF-8. I am using JRE 1.7.0 when i run from the cmd. Netbeans is using JDK 1.7

@SotiriosDelimanolis Why would it matter what encoding is used by the command prompt? – shmosel Jun 15 '14 at 19:32
@SotiriosDelimanolis OP said "the program fails to find the element", not "it prints incorrectly". – shmosel Jun 15 '14 at 19:35

@shmosel I did misread that. – Sotirios Delimanolis Jun 15 '14 at 19:46
if i try to print the greek string in windows cmd, it also prints incorrectly; whereas in Netbeans it prints with the correct characters. Any other ideas? @KickButtowski – Ioannis Tsiokos Jun 17 '14 at 16:53
may be you don't have the proper font – Kick Buttowski Jun 17 '14 at 17:20
