I don't know idlj but it may be using a FileWriter and therefore the 
default encoding.  As you path is "c:/openjdk" then I assume this must 
be Windows and cygwin, in which case you might (I'm not sure 100% sure) 
need to adjust it in the control panel. As a check, can you print the 
value of the file.encoding property in this environment.
