How to support UTF-8 encoding in Eclipse

How can I add UTF-8 support in eclipse? I want to add for example Russian language but eclipse won't support it. What should I do? Please guide me.

Solution 1:

Try this

• 1) Window > Preferences > General > Content Types, set UTF-8 as the default encoding for all content types.

• 2) Window > Preferences > General > Workspace, set Text file encoding to Other : UTF-8

Solution 2:

Open Eclipse and do the following steps:

1. Window -> Preferences -> Expand General and click Workspace, text file encoding (near bottom) has an encoding chooser.
2. Select "Other" radio button -> Select UTF-8 from the drop down
3. Click Apply and OK button OR click simply OK button

Solution 3:

You can set a default encoding-set whenever you run eclipse.exe.

1. Open eclipse.ini in your eclipse home directory Or STS.ini in case of STS(Spring Tool Suite)
2. put the line below at the end of the file

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
