Hello,
I have created a plugin and I am able to export it. My problem at the moment
is that I can't find a way to change the default value for text file
encoding for my exported plugin. I know how to do that under Eclipse, but I
would like to change it in the eclipse configuration file.
I have tried things like this in my plugin_customization.ini:
org.eclipse.ui/org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.encoding=utf-8
Without success.. even modifying eclipse.ini directly was not a great help.
Do you have an idea about how to do that?
Thanks,
--
J.

Ed,
Sorry for not being clear enough. Derek has found a working solution, and I
thank him for this.
Remaining comments below.

In fact, I was referring to what I can see in the Window > Preferences >
General > Workspace then Text file encoding. I believe this is the default
setting for the platform.
I need this setting in order to have support for utf-8 (as you can imagine).

Not exactly, I mean the text file encoding is necessary for my xml file (the
editor input) to generate some java code (with utf-8 encoding).

The generated code itself is not the problem, but when the user run this
java code, special characters are not handled.

This may be a more elegant solution. I will consider that Ed. Thanks for
your help.
