Hi Nanthan,
If the file encoding derive from the OS, it should be the some bugs in it
because on my LINUX machine the locale is en_US.UTF-8. Our default codec is
still ISO8859-1. Do you know where can we found such codes?
Classlib expected vm do this and set the property, but it didn't, so we have to
do this by ourselves.

Hi,
Charles, I believe UTF-8 is the default encoding for RI, and it sounds
reasonable.
BTW, it may encounter some compatibility problem, maybe we need to run
more tests to verify?

Hi guys:
I am doing some test cases on the ant junit test case and meeting some
encoding problems. I find they are maybe caused by the different default
encoding from RI and harmony. My local is en_US.UTF-8, RI default is
UTF-8
but harmony is 8859-1. And then I have encountered
HARMONY-3736<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-3736>,
and the two diffs attached on that issue. It seems we always get 8859-1.
Because: (correct me if wrong :-)
1. we remove the set code in the vm. we will always get null if we call
vm
method
2. we set the file.encode in the libglob.c, if we got null from vm, we
set
Sorry, it should be luniglob.c
8859-1.
3. we can not set file.encode on the run time.
ant use UTF-8 to encode filename which contains the non-ascii character.
So why we use iso8859-1 as our unchangeable default?
From the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO8859-1, it says "In
computing
applications, encodings that provide full UCS support (such as
UTF-8<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8>and
UTF-16 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16>) are finding increasing
favor
over encodings based on ISO 8859-1." Should we simply change iso8859-1
to
utf-8?
