BUG French Characters with accents on System.out
131332Feb 2 2006 — edited Feb 27 2006Bonjour,
It seem that JDev Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.0.4.3673 has the same bug as every other IDE I ever used. I am running on Windows XP Pro, my regional setting is French(Canada) (Français(Canada)) and a French Canadian keyboard.
The problem is the French Characters with accents will be displayed incorrectly if you use System.out.print... Further more the way they are displayed can be different in the code editor, in the message log and if you use a true line command window on the system. There is a solution, but it is deprecated in Java 1.5. It still works for now thank God. The solution is to have an environment variable switch for Java: JAVAOPTIONS with the value -Dfile.encoding=Cp850. It would be nice to use 1252 but Windows will not allow you to do this.
Please tell me if there is another solution.
