Hi
I've had a similar mysterious problem a few months back. It turns out that the default character encoding for Macs is "MacRoman", and this is what you get when your run from the command line using "java -jar". However, under other conditions, the default char encoding can be something else, such as UTF-8, or UTF-16. Maybe this is what is happening when you use javaws? This would mean that running the same program in different ways gets you different character encodings. That is what happened to me.
I wasn't using SWT when I discovered this - I was using a Scanner to read lines of input from a text file. I found a quick and dirty solution was to always specify UTF-8 as the encoding when opening Scanners and writing files. I don't know if there's a similar quick and dirty fix for your problem, but I hope you'll know now where to start looking.
