That's a problem of the Javadoc command. Nothing we can do there.
From what I see, there is parameter called 'encoding' that can be passed to javadoc.exe in command line. It looks like Eclipse doesn't allow passing this parameter.
reopening the bug
You can specify extra programm and VM arguments on the last page of the Javadoc wizard. Can you try this?
Yes, this will most likely "fix" it but the point is that we know the project encoding already. Of course it gets messy when people use different encodings per folder or even per file.
Bidi team in Egypt also encountered this problem when Arabic data exists inside the code. However, passing the "-encoding UTF8" parameter on the last page of the Javadoc wizard has resolved this problem.
I would suggest to mark this bug as resolved and add remark to eclipse release note regarding this issue and how to resolve.
Will add a note to documentation
