If i try to open a applicationContext.xml (spring-beans XML file) i get the following error message:

The file is unreadable using the “UTF-8” character encoding.

The error log contains (for a single open attempt) a set of identical error messages:

sun.io.MalformedInputException
at sun.io.ByteToCharUTF8.convert(Unknown Source)
at java.io.InputStreamReader.convertInto(Unknown Source)
at java.io.InputStreamReader.fill(Unknown Source)

at org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.TextEditor.doSetInput(TextEditor.java:476)
….

The file i tried to open starts like this:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”iso-8859-1″?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC
“-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN”
“http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd”&gt;

<!–
– Application context definition for “springapp” DispatcherServlet.
–>

This problems occurs on a system with a configuration like this:

Eclipse Platform
Version: 2.1.3
Build id: 200403101828

MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench

Version: 2.7.101
Build id: 200405181900-2.8-Beta1

It worked perfectly well using the actual 2.7 release of MyEclipse.

Regards,
Ralf

– System Setup ——————————-
Operating System and version:
Eclipse version:
Eclipse build id:
Fresh Eclipse install (y/n):
If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager?
Other installed external plugins:
Number of plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory that begin with org.eclipse.pde.*:
MyEclipse version:
Eclipse JDK version:
Application Server JDK version:
Are there any exceptions in the Eclipse log file?

Ralf,
I created the following file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC
"-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
"http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd"> 

<beans>
    <bean></bean>
</beans>

Saved it and opened it again with 2.8 Beta1 and wasn’t able to reproduce your problem… can you give us an exact file test case that you are seeing troubles with?
