On a Linux environment the Text file encoding will already default to UTF-8 so you can skip this step. This article http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t93442.rhtml shows how to do it with a file in Windows. I am a bit suspicious if this covers everything though... will check out soon. |
On the Windows environment, the default encoding is not UTF-8. As such modification need to be made ensure special characters work properly.
