[jdom-interest] Problems with encoding="utf-8"

[David Parker]

I posted this before but I can see that I did not explain the problem clear 
enough.

I'm including the XML input document (in.xml) and and the HTML output 
document (out.html).
You will need to open in.xml in "Notepad" to be able to see the correct 
characters.

The "in.xml" is an XML document that conforms to the "IMS Global Learning 
Consortium, Inc. (IMS) ".
The "IMS Question & Test Interoperability Specification" provides proposed 
standard XML language for describing questions and tests.

The "mattext" node will have text from such languages as: Russian, Chinese, 
Japanese, Arabic, Swahili ... that need the extended ASCII set.
JDOM is converting the "utf-8" encoded characters to ?.

What is the solution to this problem?
