Perltidy and Cyrilic support

Hi All,
I have the following problem. I use perltidy to remove the comments from
my source before I give it to the customers. So i decide to use the integrated
in EPIC pertidy and "-dac" option and then run. What was my surpires to
see that all the cyrilic characters(in the user messages) were changed to
"?". When I run perltidy from the shell I get no such problem. It is not
so important but it will be  easy if I don't have to run the shell perltidy.

Thank you in advace for the responses.

EPIC uses the default encoding of the Java virtual machine to communicate
with perltidy (to convert the UTF16 format used internally by Java to bytes
and vice versa). The default encoding of the JVM is platform-dependent.
For example, under Linux you can set the LC_ALL environment variable before
running 'eclipse' to influence it. I don't know how to do the same under
Windows.

You should experiment with setting the locale to the one that includes the
correct encoding for your cyrillic characters and see if that helps.

It would be nice if EPIC had a preference for setting this encoding and
overriding the JVM default as an easy alternative to relying on such platform-dependent
settings.
