Hello,
I'm using Galileo RC3.
I want the default workspace encoding to be UTF-8. At the moment, each time
I create a new workspace I have to set the encoding to UTF-8 (I sometimes
forget and get punished). Any way of doing this?
Thanks,
Zohar.

If you have your projects in a repository then the best way is to set
the encoding on the project and hence share it.

To make sure you don't forget to the workspace setting you could use a
start script that sets the file.encoding property.

If your project is shared with a team provider (e.g. CVS) then you will
see a change after setting the project encoding. Simply commit that change.

-vmargs -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
