I am getting the following warning message whenever I try to save the struts-config.xml for my application:

struts-config.xml will be saved in ISO-8859-1 encoding which is not the current workbench encoding. This can result in conflicts with other tools. Continue anyway ?

I click to continue and it seems OK, but I have in fact noticed what I think is a conflict with other tools. Whenever I do a Refactor->Rename to rename a file, and I check the option to update the reference in other files, giving it *.xml as a file type, it doesn’t seem to be able to find the references to the old name in struts-config.xml, and hence they are not updated as they should be. So I wonder if the above encoding incompatibility is what is causing this. In any event I would like to be using the proper encoding for everything so as to not have to worry about anything like this.

Is this perhaps a remnant of using Lomboz, or another Eclipse plug-in, which I was using before I started using MyEclipse ? How can I remove the old plugins which I am no longer using ? [perhaps this question belongs in a separate topic]

If anyone knows about this and can clue me in as to what I should do to make everything kosher then I’d certainly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi James,
If you would like your workbench encoding and file encoding to match up (UTF-8 is a good catch-all), then you can change your workbench encoding in:
Windows>Prefs>Editors (at the bottom of the panel).

However, as far as you not having refactoring working correctly, I ran into this bug myself a while back and filed it with Eclipse and it was closed as a duplicate of another bug. Its a known problem but doesn’t seem to be fixed until the 3.x branch.

I did find that if I refactor things one at a time, 90% of the time it will work, however there are still plenty of times I’ll rename an action or form and the struts-config won’t get updated.
