Enforce default encoding - how to do it? [message #16603]

Hello everyone,

I had Eclipse configured to use UTF-8 as the default text file encoding on
my workspace. At that time, I created a PHP project which I'm working on -
I'm mentioning this because I'm not sure if it's a project's setting.

All my PHP files were being saved as UTF-8, which is not what I wanted. So
when I noticed it I configured ISO-8859-1 as the default text file encoding,
but when I create a new PHP file it's still UTF-8 and I have to manually
change the text file encoding on the file properties. That only happens with
..php files, the others files such as .js, .css and .html are being created
fine as ISO-8859-1.

So my question is: how do I configure it to use always the Eclipse default
text file encoding?

Hi Francisco,

take a look at this BugReport:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174300

The Comments may clearify a bit.

Perhaps it's intented bahaviour ... but to me it's a plain bug (since
PDT renders me unable to do a simple thing, wich i could do before ^^)

Hi Francisco,
I was affected by this issue too. I've forced Eclipse to use ISO-8859-1
by changing the "Default encoding" setting under "General->Content
Types; Text->PHP Content Type".
I hope that this helps you.

As of now: Nothing except changing every single file manually.

An other Comment stated, that you might be able to ovverride the
"Content-Type-Enconding" by having subclipse-plugin active(?) on your
project and set the project's encoding through this.
But i didn't test it yet.
