Created attachment 97227 [details]
Text in green rectange is ordered correctly while text in the red rectangle is not ordered correctly

1.In a RHEL terminal , set the variables LANG and LC_ALL to "ar_EG.utf8"
2.Start eclipse using the command ./eclipse -nl ar_EG
3.Create a Java project with an Arabic name and then create an XML file with an Arabic name 
4.In the XML file, type an echo line to echo text consisting of a mix of Arabic and English text
5.Run the project as an ANT build file 
6.Arabic text will not appear as it did in editor, because the reading direction in the editor is LTR while it is RTL in the console, also the file name and the path will not appear correctly in the console due to the same reason
