Eclipse default encoding of files [message #290848]

Hi,

I don't understand how the default encoding is supposed to work. I have
project and on the project I set Properties/Text file encoding to UTF-8. Now
I create new text file in this project and when I look at the properties of
the file, it says "Default (determined from content: Cp1250)". Well, the
file is empty. How can I persuade Eclipse to use UTF-8 on new files?
(Similar problems exists when the file already exists)

Seems that -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 in Eclipse.ini solves all the troubles.

You might like to vote for this as a bug in Eclipse, to make the default UTF-8. After all, Eclipse is a cross-platform product, and I believe that it should create cross-platform files by default:

This would be a bug which I cannot reproduce using R3.1 or newer. Please
file a bug with steps to reproduce against Platform Text. Note that some
content types (e.g. XML and properties files) define their own defaults
which override those from the project/workspace.
