UTF-8 environment variable breaks

Situation: In Adeptia 5.0 we were forced to set a JAVA environment variable in Windows to support reading UTF-8 files:

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS = -Dfile.encoding=UTF8

Until now this never posed a problem, but for some reason with the latest september patch, this results in the behaviour that if the server-configure.properties file is not UTF-8 as well (by default it is saved as ANSI), the WebRunner will not start anymore.

  We fixed this by removing the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS setting and restarting the server, as we should not need this setting anymore with 5.3 due to proper UTF-8 support. This seemed to resolve the issue.
