Are we talking about windows or linux?the default file encoding should
derive from the OS. I believe that's defined by the specs.

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?
