How to open file in UTF-8 format in Netbeans; without distorting characters?

Question

There are Norwegian characters in properties file. When i open in UTF-8 enabled Notepad++ it appears correctly:

Foreslåtte 

But when i open same file in my Netbeans editor; it shows distorted characters like :

Foreslåtte

Netbeans Version in Use: 8.0.2.

Project Type: Maven Project

In Maven Proeject properties there is setting for UTF-8:

<properties>
    <app.navn>posten</app.navn>
    <jdk.version>1.8</jdk.version>
    <wro4j.version>1.7.6</wro4j.version>
    <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding> <--
    <servlet.version>3.1.0</servlet.version>
</properties>

Could anyone help in finding what settings need to be done in Netbeans to get correct UTF-8 characters?

Right Click Properties File -> Properties -> Encoding -> Tick Use Project Encoding

Now open the file and matter resolved.

Note: My Project Encoding was already set to UTF-8. You can set i: Right Click on Project -> Properties -> Sources -> Select Encoding UTF-8
