How do I encode UTF-8 using the XStream framework?

Question

Per XStream\'s FAQ its default parser does not preserve UTF-8 document encoding, and one must provide their own encoder. How does one do this?

Thanks!

With a current version of XStream, @Jeromy's example would look like this:

ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(stream, "UTF-8");
HierarchicalStreamWriter xmlWriter = new PrettyPrintWriter(writer);
xstream.marshal(object, xmlWriter);
return new String(stream.toByteArray(), "UTF-8");
