Hi all,

My ResourceBundle property file works perfect under RCP but doesn't work
for my SWT/Jface application... I used UTF-8 for both my project and
property file but no matter how I run my project from eclipse or change
the language of my winXP, Eclipse alway run it using ISO-8859-1... any
idea?

Thank you.

For some reason, the properties files are always interpreted according to the local file.encoding (which is silly). You can use the 'native2ascii' program that comes with Java to encode any non-ASCII characters as unicode escape sequences e.g. \u0041 instead, which will work regardless of local file encoding.

Thank you Alex! It worked! Unicode looks ugly in my properties file, but
I can live with that.
