Re: Setting system-wide encoding?

What other platforms use UTF-8? I thought this tended to be the preferred latin encoding. Might be wrong.
Someone could still correct me if wrong but I don't think it can be user changed for all JVM's.
That might also introduce bugs where you develop for one encoding but all your users have another. Or have strange side effects for other java applications.
javac -encoding maybe for the build?

All of our Linux machines are UTF-8 by default.

I doubt it would introduce bugs. At worst, they'd be like the bug I just described, but I think tending toward UTF-8 makes more sense.
