Problem while unzipping the non-ascii characters

Question

we are not able to retain the greek characters after zipping the files(that contain greek characters). the following code shows u a clear sketch about how we are zipping the files on solaris platform.
ZipOutputStream out = null;
     try
          FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(zipFileName);
          out = new ZipOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(f));
          for(int i = 0; i < fileNameLists.getNumElements(); i++)
               BufferedReader in =     new BufferedReader(     new FileReader(fileNameLists.getNameAt(i)) );
               out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(getFileName(fileNameLists.getNameAt(i))));
               int c;
               while((c = in.read()) != -1)
                    out.write(c);
                    in.close();
          out.close();
if we are directly open the file which is stored in specified location its displaying greek characters(non-ascii) correctly but our application need to zip those files and save on windows platform.
so once we zip the files and download onto windows platform its and extract the files its shows some garbage characters(may be using defaulr character encoding of windows cp1252) instead of greek charcaters.
we tried in many ways using the setEncoding() method in ZipOutPutStream even then no use.
is it because that zip utility while reading takes default character encoding of the platform?
wud be thankful if anyone cud provive solution for this

Answer 1

String encodingFormat = "UTF-8";
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(fileNameLists.getNameAt(i)), encodingFormat );try the above code n let me know if its helpful
