Description

Although SQOOP-3074 achieved that Sqoop won't fail anymore with special characters even if the locale on the caller system is not UTF-8, there's a simpler solution to do the same thing, by tuning the compiler + classwriter itself (by adding explicit encodings) instead of using the StringEscapeUtils#escapeJava mechanism.

This solution seems simpler, and won't introduce any confusion around generation of Java identifiers.
