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.
