How to change charset of Dynamic Help [message #469530]

We have a web application that supports multiple languages and produces
dynamic help content. When Japanese content is produced the displayed
characters are turned into question marks (????). If we start up the JVM
so that the default charset is Japanese, then the content looks okay.

From this I conclude that Eclipse is processing the InputStream
returned by IHelpContentProducer according to the JVMs default charset.
It seems it would have been better for it to process it as UTF-8.

I have not yet figured out how to make the default charset for the JVM
to be UTF-8. I would prefer not to do this, since it may have some other
side-effect. Is there another way to get this to work?

Thanx
