+1 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? My 2 cents. Sergiu Dumitriu wrote:

PS: Why not just have xwiki.cfg's default be: 'xwiki.encoding=UTF-8' ; likewise have web.xml's default for com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter's 'encoding' be UTF-8. These encoding errors that oft go unnoticed are probably resulting in a number of configuration errors, and perhaps other bug-reports that aren't entirely valid, should they depend on encoding issues.
Big +1
This is one of the oldest issues open (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-94). I guess that since we're nearing 2.0, it would be a good thing to set this on trunk, before the 1.9M1 release.
WDYT?
