[cdt-core-dev] ASCII-EBCDIC issues

I'm trying to use the Eclipse CDT server on USS OS/390 Release 9.   I have
downloaded the latest JDK.
Right away I noticed there were problems with the input stream as the
client is Linux/390...
and that is ASCII based.   On new String construction I forced a conversion
to ASCII.   For some reason java on USS tried to
convert ASCII characters in the input byte stream to EBCDIC.    Which
caused an ABEND on parsing.

Converting to ASCII got me past an abend.    Now I'm basically sending the
request (to view some remote files) from the Eclipse client again.
And getting quite a bit further, but after a certain point, it fails.

The Linux to Linux solution works fine...
Not using the Daemon ....just the server.

I guess I'm still thinking it's ASCII-EBCDIC.   Where the information to
open the files or even interface with the filesystem
should still be in EBDCIC.     to create a simple project with 3 sample C
files that are, afterall EBCDIC in the directory, and EBCDIC inside
the files themselves.

If I knew all the ASCII/EBCDIC problems and where they needed to be
addressed, that would help immensely.
