STELLA supports Java 1.5, so you shouldn't have any problems running
STELLA or PowerLoom under 1.5.

Unfortunately, characters and strings are 8-bit only and don't support
Unicode (this was inherited from the C/C++ char* datatype).  Various
internals of STELLA - particularly the reader - depend on this
assumption.  In the Java translation of STELLA, strings are
represented by plain Java strings which do support Unicode, so, it
might be possible to work around this restriction for certain
STELLA/Java applications with a little bit of hand-coding in Java.

Unfortunately #2, we have very limited resources to extend STELLA, so
this restriction will not go away anytime soon/ever.
