> Default locale and default charset has immediate effect on how strings are encoded and handles - e.g. via {{String.toLowerCase()}} or {{new String(byte[])}}.
> Problems with different default locales + charsets don't become obvious for US and most European regional settings. But some regional OS settings will cause severe errors. Example: {{"BILLY".toLowerCase()}} returns {{bılly}} with Locale tr_TR (take a look at the second letter - it's an i without the dot).
> (ref: http://blog.thetaphi.de/2012/07/default-locales-default-charsets-and.html)
> It's not a problem I'm currently facing, but it could become a problem for some users. A quick fix could be to set default locale and charset in the start scripts - maybe that's all we need.
