| Changing the encoding used to show the source |
| </h1> |
| To change the encoding used by the Java editor to display source files: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| With the Java editor open and the file saved, select <strong>Edit > Set Encoding...</strong> from the menu bar |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select <strong>Other</strong> and then select an encoding from the menu or type in the encoding's name. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Notes:</strong> |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| This setting affects only the way the source is presented--it does not change the file's contents. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| To change the default encoding used for interpreting text files, |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| set the workspace default |
| (using the <strong>Text file encoding</strong> section of the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Workspace)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png"> |
| <strong>General > Workspace</strong></a> |
| preference page), or |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| set the project- or folder-specific default (<strong>Context menu > Properties > Info > Text file encoding</strong>) |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| This will change the encoding of all contained files that don't have an explicit encoding set. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
