On a Linux environment the Text file encoding will already default to UTF-8 so you can skip this step. |
On the Windows environment, the default encoding is not UTF-8. As such modification need to be made ensure special characters work properly.
Enable UTF-8 for Java Files
All our property files must be UTF-8 with no BOM (Byte Order Marking). For Eclipse to properly edit the UTF-8 property files,
- Window, Preferences
- General, Content Types, Text,
- Java Properties File
- Change Default encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8
- Click Update
- JSP

- Click Apply
Enable UTF-8 for Web Files
This changes what format and automatic encoding tags used when you use Eclipse wizards to create web file.
- Window, Preferences, Web

- HTML Files
- JSP Files

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... need to confirm. |
