How to set JSP (and other MyEclipse editors) to use UTF-8 as default encoding?
Even when Preferences page for JSP editor is set to ISO-10646/UTF-8 when creating new files default encoding is always ISO-8859-1.
I use version 3.8.2 on Eclipse 3.0.1 with Workspace encoding set to UTF-8

KB,
How do you know that the encoding for new files is always set to ISO-8859-1? I just double checked the jsp templates (<myeclipse dir>\eclipse\plugins\com.genuitec.eclipse.wizards_3.8.2\Templates) and none of them have encoding attributes in the @page directive to specify an encoding.You can ADD an encoding attribute to the templates, the editor will honor that.
It is correct that JSP template does not specify an encoding. When writing english pages this is not a problem. But i need to write cyrilic so i need to put the encoding in each page. This is not some hard job, but i assumed that Preferences/MyEclipse/Editors/Jsp/(Encoding when creating new files) will apply to new files. When a new JSP is created Eclipse shows ISO-8859-1 as encoding of the file because nothing is explicitly specified. By editing the template file i resolved this issue, however it will be nice in the next version of MyEclipse this preference encoding to be put explicitly in newly created files.
How do I check what the encoding for an editor currently is? I’m trying to create a detailed bug report for this…
Thx!
Just click properties on the JSP file (Alt-Enter). This is the encoding Eclipse report for any text file. In current MyEclipse version all JSP files are in Latin encoding, if you write a cyrilic or greek text when saving Eclipse report a warning that text can not be converted, saving will result in replacing all non-latin chars with “?” .
