Properties File Encoding [message #79853]

I am unable to find settings in Eclipse preferences that will enable proper
handling of UTF-8 chatacters in *.properteis files. It seems that setting
"text file encoding" for workbench editors would solve this but does not.
When multi byte characteers are saved, and file is reopened, the characters
are mangled

Thanks

*.properties files are Latin1 (ISO-8859-1) encoded by definition.

Well, yes in the Java world ;-)

In Eclipse 3.1 there's a Java properties content type which defines
ISO-8859-1 as its default encoding. You can change this under:
Preferences > General > Content Types.
