[R] How to receive German umlauts (8bitWestern) from SJava ?

[Jens Oehlschlägel]

I have a problem with receiving a full 8bit characterset from SJava.

My R has 
> Sys.getlocale()
[1]
"LC_COLLATE=German_Germany.1252;LC_CTYPE=German_Germany.1252;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=German_Germany.1252"

I have a Java application reading 8bitWestern Character including German
Umlauts.

I read data with SJava to R and some characters do not arrive as desired but
as 2Byte characters, I guess UTF-8. 

Example
a b c A B C ä ö ü Ä Ö Ü ß 
arrive as
a b c A B C ä ö ü Ä Ö Ü ß

Can someone give advice how to receive the characters correctly (and fast)?

Thanks
