What would happen, if somebody else would add yet another character set ?
UTF-8 here, ISO-LATIN there, chinese ....  It just can happen. But it can
not
be cured by setting compiler options.

The only simple solution i see, is to self restrict ourself to one
characterset in the java-sources.

Either we make it simple and stick to the ASCII characterset, which wirked
for ages,
or we make it a little bit more complex and stick with UTF-8 (IMHO the best
choice we have nowadays).

In the latter case we might also want to configure maven/ant compile steps
so that utf-8 is 
guaranteed to be used... 

I personally would opt for the simples solution (use ASCII)...

Any complains ?
