As I explained before, output file encoding which is created by `-Xstdout` option is changed to native encoding instead of UTF-8 by `-J-Dfile.encoding=COMPAT`.
In case of Linux ja_JP.eucjp locale, your explanation may be acceptable.
But how  about Windows platform ?
How can user find encoding name without running java ?
