How to support UTF-8 encoding in Eclipse

Question

Try this

• 1) Window > Preferences > General > Content Types, set UTF-8 as the default encoding for all content types.

• 2) Window > Preferences > General > Workspace, set Text file encoding to Other : UTF-8

Open Eclipse and do the following steps:

1. Window -> Preferences -> Expand General and click Workspace, text file encoding (near bottom) has an encoding chooser.
2. Select "Other" radio button -> Select UTF-8 from the drop down
3. Click Apply and OK button OR click simply OK button

You can set a default encoding-set whenever you run eclipse.exe.

1. Open eclipse.ini in your eclipse home directory Or STS.ini in case of STS(Spring Tool Suite)
2. put the line below at the end of the file

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Just right click the Project -- Properties and select Resource on the left side menu.

You can now change the Text-file encoding to whatever you wish.
