Question

If you take a Project, where other Developers before work with the defaultsetting on Windows Eclipse installations (cp1250)… what can you do to come clear with your linux-installation of eclipse?

Or even, if you still work on Linux, and the other Developers work on windows, and don’t wan’t to change there settings?

Answer 1

I recommend to set eclipse Charsetting by default on UTF-8 instead of cp1250.

Here the Solution:

1. Create a separately Workspace for all your cp1250-encoded Projects
2. Go to Window > Pereferences > General > Workspace Type cp1250 into
   the dropdownbox (if not in the list, your have to type it!!)
3. Maybe, if it’s a Problem, choose “line delemiter” Windows (For me the default-setting always work, so i doesn’t need to change it anyway!)

Here a Screenshot off it:

Save it, and your done.
