Description Grant Gayed CLA 2001-10-11 14:23:58 EDT
I've saved the external file used to j:\teamswt\gwg\svcpack.log, though this problem
can likely be duplicated with any Hebrew file.

- open a Hebrew file in Notepad, Select All, Copy
- open an Eclipse java editor
- ensure that its font is able to display Hebrew, and the current language is Hebrew
- Paste into the editor
- Hebrew characters end up displaying as question marks

Note that other copy-paste scenarios seem to work fine, such as:
- copy Hebrew text within a Java Editor
- copy Hebrew text from Java editor to outside editor like Notepad

	Happens in arabic too.  But note that things do seem to work when the external
application is Wordpad (instead of Notepad).

	I tried this on the Japanese machine and it all works fine.

	I am using the String classes byte conversion routines. I can rewrite this code to use our own Converter
	byte conversion routines and see what effect this has.
