    Description

      Problem:

      I experienced that good old german "Umlaute" (ä,ö,ü) in the shell action look good in hop itself, but written as hieroglyphics in the command line. It catched my attention while trying to call an external jar with arguments including necessary filepaths. Worked fine all the time, until I changed the testdirectory to the real one, that (unfortunately) includes a word with "ö". Did work outside of hop though, so I got suspicious and found the problem as shown in the attached pictures. 

      First suggestion from matt from the Town Square: 
      Hop uses UTF-8 for all internal operations, like all Java software does. So it's probably not reading the information back in the right codepage OR Windows turns this into some OS codepage.
       
       
      Probably needs to be an option in the Shell action
