Created attachment 53818 [details] log file
I don't think its expected that log file be able to show non ascii, since main use I think is for diagnostic use. But in any case, if writing of the file could use encoding of the project, or global ide view of encoding, it could help if users need to view it. ken.frank@sun.com
Confirming what kfrank said, messages.log isn't designed to show non-ascii. However changing to enhancement for tracking.
Why are you reassigning to logger component? logger has nothing to do with messages.log files.
Because I thought logger is right component, at least name suggests that. If you know what is right component, why did you reassigned back to me?
