Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-255:
------------------------------------
1. I have to eat humble pie here and admit you are completely right about the
source file encoding being irrelevant. The JVM has a unicode string in memory.
I think I confused myself when I was doing some tests with changing the editor
encoding on a source file with Japanese in Eclipse. My bad.
I understand your point that using UTF-8 as the default would be predictable.
This is especially useful when a log file is read in an environment with a
different platform encoding than where the log file was written.
It just does not seem right that if I log a Japanese string to the Console in
my Japanese environment it comes out scrambled.
Let me check how log4j-1.2 and logback handle this.
2. I was looking at
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html
but I agree these are only for the Oracle JVM. Thanks for the pointer. I'll
remove the Russian encoding from the JUnit test.
