I know one can set the default input/output encoding using "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" on the command line. Is the default encoding dependent on some environmental variable such as LANG. "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8" does not seem to work.

ok, there's a two Java properties that you can set, unfortunately which two depends on the VM version - I think it's a pre 1.3/post 1.3 split but I can't find my notes as to what exactly that is - you can set all three of these values and get the right result everywhere...

-Duser.language=en

-Duser.region=US
-Duser.country=US

it's the last two (I think) that are the VM dependent ones.

user.language is pretty obvious, the region is slightly less so, but most of the details for these values can be found in the notes with java.util.Locale.
