This system property is initialized by the JVM startup code after querying the underlying native operating system. For example on my English USA NT box it is initialized to: Cp1252 It is generally recommended that you do not modify it. However if you know what you are doing you could override the system property either on the command line using the – java -Dfile.encoding=… syntax or programmatically at startup. Here is the reference URL for supported encodings – • http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/internat/encoding.doc.html You may also find Sun’s online tutorial helpf
