Strange content type and encoding detection [message #545295]

I have a file named changes.xml, with an xml header like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>

The properties dialog of the file looks like this:

Quote:

...
Type: File (XML)
...
Text file encoding:
determined from content: ISO-8859-15

Everything looks OK.

BUT: in my friend's eclipse, the properties dialog says this:

Quote:

...
Type: File (Base JPA content)
...
Text file encoding:
determined from content: UTF-8

There is no changes.xml file configured as a JPA content type under General -> Content Types.

Does anybody know what's going on here?

Greetings,
Tchick.

I wonder whether your friend has some additional Eclipse plugins installed
which you do not have? I believe each plugin can contribute to the process
that decides what the file's encoding and contents are. Maybe he has some
JPA functionality installed that you don't?

Thanks for your help. Yes that could be the reason.

We decided not to take more research into this issue, but all start with a fresh eclipse 3.6 and some plugins installation. The problem is not occurred again since then.

Very Happy
