Michiel,

A quick test of "System.out.println("test".getBytes("iso-2022-jp"));" shows
that that particular encoding is supported on my Java 6 install. So unless
BMC is doing something funky it should work.
However, it may be that you need to install the "international" version of
the JRE, or select the extra character set encodings when installing the
JRE. I think it's something you can select during JRE install.
