Bamboo Link build plan - strange text format issue

[junfang li]

I have upgraded Bitbucket and Bamboo to the latest version.

When I try to link a build plan in a new deployment project, I got an invalid character for ">" after I select a build plan from the dropdown. Due to this invalid character I cannot create a plan. 

Please see screenshot below:

I suspect this is caused due to the wrong encoding. Check if the encoding is set to UTF8 by going to Overview -> System Information. If not, just follow this page to update it

1. Shutdown Bamboo

2. Edit <Bamboo Installation Dir>/bin/setenv.sh

3. Add this line in quotes under JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS=

   -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 -Dsun.jnu.encoding=utf-8

4. Restart Bamboo and check that your system encoding changes to utf-8 from the System information page.

Note: If you are using Windows and using Bamboo as a service, you may have to set JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS in Bamboo service by following this page - Configuring your system properties.
