Fix encoding of preferences tasks #62

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I have written preference files on Linux with UTF-8 encoding. Now I tried to 
use them with an Eclipse installed on Windows. There are some french chars in 
title and description and they are incorrectly displayed by WM plugin.
I think WM is loading the files using default platform encoding and it makes it 
impossible to have portable non ascii files.

Could you please force encoding to UTF-8 or provide a way to tell encoding of 
the preference files (like an XML header).

Thanks

Sounds reasonable enough. I'm just making sure this doesn't break anything at 
Google (given my presumption at the moment that it's the largest install base.)

Are you sure it's not just reading and writing with the ISO 8859-1 encoding? 
Scanning the code, I think that's what's going on.

If true this is not a good choice for non European people. But I'm nearly sure 
I had a different behavior between Windows and Linux. I'll recheck as soon as 
possible.

I have just checked again: the same epf file produce different results in 
Windows and Linux concerning display of non ascii chars in WM UI. So there is 
definitly an issue here.

Here it is. When I put this file in c:\Doc & settings\myuser\.eclipse\mechanic 
on Windows it is fine but on Linux it is bad. On Linux I have this message in 
WM UI:

Workspace Mechanic
Changes suggested for your Eclipse installation:
MYCOMPANY-3.0.6
R?glages par d?faut de my company

but last sentence should be:

Réglages par défaut de my company
