Old issue.
I also remember that the default language was (and still is, AFAIK) FR
in the start_xwiki.sh and that this was creating issues with XMLRPC and
XEclipse on date conversions.
It know that Fabio resolved those problems, but shouldn't we switch to
en_US as well if we switch to UTF8?
Of course, this goes without saying. I wonder if this is needed at all,
since -Dfile.encoding should be enough. Any specific LANG might not be
available on the server (in France it is common to have just fr_FR).
IIRC, there was a mail about this, I'll try to find it.
My 2 cents.
