I have not tested setting a file association. This change is intended to allow the argument to be parsed correctly.

To get this scenario to work, make the association change the codepage and then start java. 'chcp 65001 && java . . .' With this change, if the codepage is correct, then System.out and System.err should support Unicode. Kirk Developer Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.
