I would be happy to help. BUt i have no idea what is in the executable. If it si based on upstream
bat files, then it lacks this power.

*Maybe* you can pass it in via global  JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" ?

Patches for our terrible bat files welcomed.
IN 1.8 there willbe native luncher which willbe able to do this for both linux and windows.

Please, compare: http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web/file/6b6da5f22c26/shell-launcher :(
