I am having problem with the output file from a program using eclipse .i set my eclipse to UTF-8 and with
System.getProperty("file.encoding")
i get UTF-8.i ran my prog via eclipse run-option and the output (a text file) is encoded in UTF-8.but when i compressed the source code into a jar file,the output file shows error in some of the alphabet like Ã.what is with this diff when ruuning the prog in eclipse and frm jar file?and do i have to specify the output to be encoded in utf-8 in my source code?pls help.
help from @dacwe indeed produced the desired output.but may i know how can i run my executable .jar file outside command line?how can the -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
@dacwe :i tried changing my source code into
BufferedWriter bout = new java.io.BufferedWriter(new java.io.OutputStreamWriter(
new java.io.FileOutputStream(filename), "UTF-8"));
but the output still is not encoded correctly.anything i miss here?

After some major discussion in @Dave G's answer!
Using java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar your-jar-file.jar works.
Updating your code as @Dave G suggested (and your edit) should work.
Have you really repackaged your jar?
Do you call close() on bout? (e.g. maybe your file isn't updated)
Here is a full example that might get you going:
public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new File("hello.txt"), "UTF-8");
out.print("written in utf-8");
out.close();
}
