I am using Eclipse Indigo Service Release 1.

Answer 1

The code below can be used to display Arabic text in J2ME

 String s=new String("\u0628\u06A9".getBytes(), "UTF-8"); 

where \u0628\u06A9 is the unicode of two Arabic letters

Answer 2

You should use the String constructor, which allows you to specify an encoding with an argument of type String(byte[], Charset) (No Charset in J2ME) or String(byte[], String) . Otherwise, the byte array will be decoded using the default platform, which may not be UTF-8.

Example:

  byte[] utf8bytes = ... //Byte array containing UTF-8 as bytes. String string = new String(utf8bytes, "UTF-8");

I found a solution:
Window > Preferences > General > Content Types

Select the type of file you want (Text => java in your case)

Now insert UTF-8 into the default encoding and click "Update".
