Description Brian Lillie CLA 2005-08-03 12:10:33 EDT 
Attempting to use the console while running the Eclipse OSGi framework on IBM 
zSeries (EBCDIC character base) runs into problems with encoding.

- in many cases, the file.encoding is set to 8859_1 to handle files that have 
been transferred as part of zip files and retain the ascii encoding

- the console i/o needs to run in the native platform encoding, and cannot use 
8859_1 and handle the i/o correctly.

Rather than using the file.encoding to set the encoding within the 
FrameworkConsole class, define a new property such as osgi.console.encoding 
that is used only for the console encoding.  This would then become the 
default encoding used.

Patch to support new property for console encoding.

If property osgi.console.encoding present, use it, otherwise default to use
file.encoding property as before.
