Java difference between running from netbeans and cmd

Question

I have a program that writes text data to files. When I run it from netbeans the files are in a correct encoding and you can read them with a notepad. When I run it from cmd using java -cp ....jar the encoding is different.

What may be the issue??

ps. I've checked that the jre. versions are the same that executes (v 1.8.0_31)

Netbeans startup scripts may specify a different encoding than your system default. You can check in your netbeans.conf.

You can set the file.encoding property when invoking java. For example, java -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -cp... jar.

If you do not want to be surprised when running your code on different environments, even better solution would be to specify the encoding in your source code.

How you specify the encoding in the source? And why the default jvm encoding is different. Netbeans sets it explicitly? – ApollonDigital Aug 15 '15 at 01:29
