Java natively supports UTF-8, but it always depends on the platform that you're working on. If you're on Windows, then the default encoding is CP1252 and not UTF-8 (as on my Ubuntu box). You can change the default encoding being used by starting the JVM with a specific "file.encoding" parameter: java -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 -classpath ... NB: Haven't tested that with Kepler, but I've come across that problem with a different software package.
