I think so. A default value of property `file.encoding'
should follow locale of the system.

This is surely a problem and I can make a patch.
JDK 1.1.7 can recognize only `ja', `japanese' and `PCK'
as encoding for Japanese.

I can't be sure which, Sun or porting team, should deal
with the problem. More people will be happy if Sun deal
with. But Sun may claim that current implementation is
sufficient, because current JDK supports `ja' and
`japanese' which is values of LANG for SunOS 5.

Who should deal with this problem?
