Sbt unresolved dependencies invalid character

Question

Because of my first name containing a unicode char, I had problems using SBT on it.

  la-lang/scala-reflect/2.10.2/scala-reflect-2.10.2.pom: Path contains invalid cha
  racter: Ù

I ran into the following solution, which says to add the following to sbtconfig.txt:

-Dsbt.ivy.home=C:/Users/Mikael/.ivy2/
-Divy.home=C:/Users/Mikael/.ivy2/

where Mikael is a symlink for Mikaël. This does not work anymore.

Answer 1

Also edit sbtopts, change the line

#-ivy ~/.ivy2

to

-ivy c:/Users/Mikael/.ivy2

where Mikael is a symlink for Mikaël
