JDK-8006039 - test/tools/launcher/I18NJarTest.java fails on Mac w/ LANG=C, LC_ALL=C
Description
The comments in test/tools/launcher/I18NJarTest.java describe a few steps needed to setup the expected environment in which the test case expects to run.

It would be much better from a test-automation standpoint to update the test case to set up its own environment automatically.
Comments
It would also be good to check not only "C", but also other locales that do not use UTF-8 encoding.

Judging by the source comments, doing this for Unix platforms ought to be fairly straightforward: * On Unix: use "locale -a" verify one of these exist ja_JP.UTF-8 or * ja_JP.utf8 or ja_JP.ujis, and export one of them with LC_ALL. Windows might be more complicated: * On Windows: ControlPanel->Regional Settings, * ensure that "Japanese" is selected and checked, and in * "Code page conversion tables", the following must be checked, * 932 (ANSI/OEM - Japanese Shift-JIS).
