[jdom-interest] How to specify Unicode for XMLOutputter

[Jason Hunter]

Your code is fine.  The issue is that when you pass a Writer to the
output method, you'll have problems if the Writer isn't configured for
the encoding you set.  If you stick to writing to streams or to Strings,
it should be OK.
