How about:
String default = new OutputStreamWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream()).getEncoding();

System.getProperty("file.encoding");

Although as that property isn't documented, it might not exist on some
systems. As an alternative you could create an instance of
InputStreamReader, using the constructor which doesn't specify the
encoding, and then call the getEncoding() method. The same approach
could also be used with OutputStreamWriter.
