Description

It seems that after merging #973, compilation with Geode Native Docker build image for version 1.15.0 is broken. This is the compilation error:

tests/javaobject/ComparePdxInstanceFunction.java:42: error: unmappable character (0xAC) for encoding US-ASCII
    pdxInstanceFactory.writeString("utfHugeField", longString + "???");

As it seems, the latest docker image is using Java 11, which handles UTF-8 strings in a different way to Java 8, so that's why compilation is working with packer images and not with Docker build image.
