Cause Some Java™ runtimes throw a sun.ioMalformedInputException when the system locale is set to a UTF-8 encoding. Diagnosing the problem To find out whether your system is set to a UTF-8 encoding, examine the locale-specific environment variables such as LANG or LC_ALL to see if they end with the suffix ".UTF-8". Resolving the problem Remove the ".UTF-8" suffix from the locale-specific environment variables. For example, if your machine has a LANG default locale of "ja_JP.UTF-8", set to "ja_JP".
