I think the VM must set it during startup. That's what libgcj does. Brian> gnu/java/io/EncodingManager uses System.getProperty("file.encoding", Brian> "8859_1"); Brian> java/net/URLEncoder.java uses System.getProperty("file.encoding", Brian> "8859_1"); Brian> java/util/logging/XMLFormatter.java uses Brian> System.getProperty("file.encoding") and later defaults to "UTF-8" if Brian> null I wonder if the default setting should be in gnu.classpath.Configuration.
