a encoding problem with wtp in helios [message #559637]

hi everyone,

I import my project in the eclipse(helios fresh download). the source file(xhtml and java) are created with cp1252, but only the java file is shown correctly. I changed content-type of html file to test, I found the new text typed is encoding in utf-8, and the old is still in cp1252. I cant find where i can change this.
actually parameter is :
preference>>general>>workspace>>text file encoding = cp1252
preference>>general>>content types>>html>>default encoding = empty
preference>>web>>html files>>encoding =iso latin-1
preference>>web>>html files>>loading files=use workspace encoding.

Someone can help me?
thanks in advance

Hi,

The HTML editor should first attempt to detect the encoding of the document based on any encoding defined within the file. For example, if you have <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> in your document, we set the encoding of the document as "ISO-8859-1". In the absence of this information, the workspace default should be picked up (mine was encoding with cp1252 off the bat).

If you haven't tried it yet, you can manually set the default encoding for the HTML content type by selecting HTML from the Content Types preference page and set cp1252 as the encoding and press the Update button and the OK. This should force the encoding to be cp1252 if you haven't defined an encoding otherwise in your HTML document.

Hi,

How can you change the default UTF-8 for facelet pages (xhtml) ?

Yan.

Default text file encoding can be set as follows:

Open: Window/Preferences/General/Workspace.

On windows default is Cp1252. select Other and the your preferred encoding. e.g. UTF-8

scroll down to Web/CSS, Web/HTML, etc. On each configuration page select desired encoding.

that's all. Works fine. My projects are set to UTF-8.
