           Summary: ConsoleAppender ignores encoding set with setEncoding()
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bp@thinkpink.com


ConsoleAppender, as a subclass of WriterAppender, should behave correctly when
its encoding is set to something other than the system default.

Since the ConsoleAppender is already wrapping System.out and System.err in an
OutputStreamWriter it's a simple matter to create an OutputStreamWriter with the
desired encoding.

One could argue that System.{out,err} have system-defined encodings and that
those should stand. But it seems equally important, if not more so, to be able
to write software that has predictable behavior in the face of varying system
defaults.
