Yesterday I downloaded 2.7 R2, and it’s working great except for one problem. When I went to change my web.xml today, I got the following error message when I tried to save the file:

“web.xml will be saved in “UTF-8″ encoding which is not the current workbench encoding. This can result in configlcts with other tools. Continue anyway?”

Here are the first 2 lines of my web.xml:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC “-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN” “http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd”&gt;

I’ve got Eclipse 2.1.1 installed.

What is the proper setting for RC2? It saved fine in RC1.

Thanks,
Kelley

Kelley,
The default workbench encoding on Windows (assuming that is what you are using) is Cp1252. So when you specify this file to be UTF-8 (which is fine) its just giving you a warning letting you know that this might cause trouble since your default workbench encoding is not the same. I believe 99% of the time you can just ignore this warning but in the cases where you have very obscure encoding-specific characters in your xml files, then you might want to consider adjusting the file encoding to ensure that the characters are encoded/decoded correctly in the file.

An example of what I mean is if you change the file encoding in the XML header from UTF-8 to Cp1252, you won’t get the error anymore… but then again you will probably have issues with this file on other platforms. So just leave it UTF-8 and ignore the warning.
