I use weird Unicode strings in my Java test cases. The compiler seemingly interprets the file as iso-8859-1, causing JUnit to complain.
In Python I can specify the encoding at the top of the file:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
Is there an equivalent in Java? How can I detect / specify the encoding of .java files?

The native character encoding of the Java programming language is UTF-16. A charset in the Java platform therefore defines a mapping between sequences of sixteen-bit UTF-16 code units (that is, sequences of chars) and sequences of bytes.
In Java, the OutputStreamWriter accepts a charset to encode the character streams into byte streams. We can pass a StandardCharsets. UTF_8 into the OutputStreamWriter constructor to write data to a UTF-8 file.
Scheme source code files are usually encoded in ASCII or UTF-8, but the built-in reader can interpret other character encodings as well. When Guile loads Scheme source code, it uses the file-encoding procedure (described below) to try to guess the encoding of the file. In the absence of any hints, UTF-8 is assumed.
You can set it when you compile the file with the parameter "-encoding"

The javac compiler has a parameter -encoding where you can set it.
In Eclipse you must change the project settings or the global settings for *.java files.
