Hello @naotoj .
I'm sorry, my explanation was not enough.
I prefer to use `-encoding XXX` option for javac instead of `-J-Dfile.encoding=COMPAT` since working behavior is not same.
But I don't want to find out native encoding name `XXX` before compilation.
Native encoding name is not easy to find out without executing java,
Locale's charmap name was `EUC-JP`, but Java's encoding name was `EUC-JP-LINUX` in the above case.
I think another option is required to reference native encoding.
`-encoding COMPAT` is one example.
