UTF-8 encoding RFE for warning?
Hi
I've UTF-8 encoded all my files, setup tomcat to support utf-8 and
everything.. But something did'nt work because my chars where all garble..
Then I tried all sorts of stuff, only to discover that nothing worked.
Finally I figured out that I was using .property files and not
.property.xml , apparently java does not support utf-8 in .property files.
A warning on having utf-8 content in .property files would be nice.. Or is
it just general knowledge?
regards Nino

Nitpicking a bit: .properties files need to be in ISO 8859-1 encoding not
in default.

Note that even though properties files need to be in the "default" encoding, you can use non-iso-latin characters by way of the \uxxxx syntax, though a bit more cumbersome than "raw" Unicode characters.

It's a known fact for me aswell now :)
Ok it might be a no go then i guess. Might be the reason why eclipse also
has the "encoding determined from content" they actually have to read all
the content to *guess* what encoding it is.

For me this is a well known fact but many people still hit this problem,
I'd love to see a Java program that accepts file as input and returns
what encoding is used. There are some tricks with checking the first
few bytes but I've never seen something stable that works for all
possible encodings.
