I need to set -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 globally on Windows machine. I tried to set JAVA_OPTS environment variable in <code>My Computer -> Properties ->Environment Variables</code> and also via <code>Control Panel->Java->Java Runtime Environment Settings</code> but these had no effect. How can I set JAVA_OPTS (and specially <code>file.encoding</code> property) globally in windows? Thanks

Did you try setting up environment variable <code>JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS</code> ? Set this to <code>"-Dfile.encoding=UTF8"</code> and it is supposed to be picked up by jvm. But if it doesn't, you are left with no choice other than to use command line parameter.
