This should work.  JBuilder is written in Java, and Java programs store 
characters as Unicode.  So you should be able to use pretty much any 
characters you would like in comments, and anything that is a Unicode 
letter or digit in identifiers and such.  So you could use "a�o" as an 
identifier in Java.

I think you should also be able to use letters from Japanese, Chinese, 
Thai, Hindu, or any other alphabet.  Of course, you will have to have 
the fonts on your machine to display the characters, and will have to 
configure JBuilder's host JVM to display them.

There was an issue with the diff comparisons in JBuilder 4 Enterprise.  
If you had non-ASCII characters in your source, they would not compare 
properly in the diff viewer.  But as far as I know, they are handled 
properly in all other circumstances.
