How to change default text file encoding in Eclipse?
Whenever I add a new html file (or other text file) to the project its encoding is set to Cp1250. I am not sure why, I guess this is probably because my default language in Windows is Polish and I don't want to change it. Anyway, Eclipse says that Cp1250 is a 'default' encoding and I have to manually change it to UTF-8 each time I add anything.
So where can I change the default encoding to UTF-8? I've set the encoding by right-clicking on whole project but it didn't help. I can't find anything in options. It's so annoying...
I'm using 'Helios' release of the eclipse and use it with pydev if that matters.
Solution 1:
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace : Text file encoding
Solution 2:
Nanda's answer wasn't enough in my setup. What I needed to do is:
- Window > Preferences > General > Content Types
- Select Text > HTML in the tree
- Select all file associations, particularly .html
- Input "UTF-8" in the text-field "default encoding"
