Description

java.io.File doesn't properly work with the file names which has non-latin chars on Windows (I tried Russian) .

Minimal test case:

import java.io.File;
import junit.framework.TestCase;

public class FileEncodingTest extends TestCase {
private File russianNamedDir;

protected void tearDown() throws Exception

{ russianNamedDir.delete(); }

public void testCreateNonLatinDirectory() throws Exception

{ russianNamedDir = new File("c:\\temp\\\u0440\u0443\u0441_dir"); //coded 'rus' in Russian transliteration. russianNamedDir.mkdirs(); assertTrue(russianNamedDir.isDirectory()); }

}

The very important thing here is that Control Panel > Regional And Language Options > Regional Options tab > "Standards and formats" setting is set to "English US". All other regional settings (location, language for non-unicode programs) are set to Russian. If I switch "Standards and formats" to Russian everything works fine.
Same problem with other extended unicode chars.
