Specifying java files encoding through javatools

[Cédric Pineau <cedric.pineau@gmail.com>]

 Hello.

 I'm trying to package Ejs (http://fem.um.es/Ejs/) and learn the process and tools to use on the way.

 - I downloaded the source package, unzip and rename to ejs-4.3.4

 - I used jh_makepkg to build the debian files skeleton (with debian/rules like : '%: dh --with javahelper $@")
 - I will have to adjust those files, for dependencies at least, and then invoke debian/rules build to get a .deb file (am i right ?)

 
 My blocking problem is I don't see where/how to specify source files are in ISO-8859-1
 
 Also am I on the good path ? Is it better to use jh when possible (Ejs seems to be easy, plain java, no code generation, etc), or should I go for a ant or maven build file immediately (where encoding is easy to handle..)

 Any help appreciated :-)
