        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        java version "1.4.0-beta3"
        Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84)
        Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84, mixed mode)


        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        XMLEncoder defaults to UTF-8 encoding
        this is a problem when :
          - the "national" context uses accented character
          - we use the xml files for setting up tests
            and these files are modified/augmented
            in a human-readable way (using a text processor)
        (and are later read using XMLDecoder)

         authorizing charset ISO-8859-1 will be a good
        start ....
        later when XML tools evolves may be we could go after other
         charsets ....

        This bug can be reproduced always.
