How to set default system file encoding in IntelliJ IDEA

Question

I want IDEA to use whatever default system encoding is, instead it uses whatever is set through Settings > File Encodings. Which is set to UTF-8.

My application runs fine in Eclipse, which uses default system encoding on windows, but it is having trouble reading some xmi files when running the application through IDEA.
