Changing the File Encoding Setting

If the locale you have chosen does not use the 8859-1 character set (Roman alphabet), you need to change the file.encoding property to describe which character set will be used when files are saved. Supported character sets are listed in Table 11-4.

To Change the File Encoding Setting

1. Set the following JavaOS system property:

   ---

   -Dfile.encoding=encoding 
   

   ---

where encoding is one of the settings listed in Table 11-4.
