Modify the default encoding of eclipse in Windows

Generally, the system code in Windows is gb2312 (the Chinese version of Windows). Because I prefer UTF-8 encoding, I will share with you the modification method.

If you want to make the new build project, java files directly make the UTF-8, you need to do the following:
1. Windows-> preferences... open the "Preferences" dialog box, navigation tree on the left, navigation to general-> workspace, and right
Text file encoding, select other, change to UTF-8, and then the text file in the Properties dialog box of the new project
Encoding is the UTF-8.

2. Windows> preferences... open the "Preferences" dialog box, navigate to General> content in the navigation tree on the left.
Types, right-side context types tree, Open Text, select Java source file, in the following default
Enter the UTF-8 In the encoding input box, and click Update to set the Java file encoding to UTF-8. Other Java application development-related files
Properties, XML, and so on have been specified by the eclipse default, respectively for the ISO8859-1, UTF-8, such as development does need to change the encoding format can be specified here.

3. After the above two steps, the new Java file is UTF-8 encoding, eclipse compilation, running, debugging is no problem, but when the RCP application product output, or
When the plug-in outputs, errors always occur, either the compilation fails (compile must be re-compiled during output), or the Chinese characters are garbled during the runtime of the output plug-in. In this case, you need to re-use the RCP application or plug-in
Add a line in build. Properties of the plugin project, javacdefaultencoding... =
UTF-8. Let the output compile know the UTF-8 encoding for the Java source file. This setting needs to ensure that all Java source files are UTF-8 encoding format, if not all, you can refer
Eclipse Help Guide> reference>
Feature and plug-in build configuration), we recommend that all Java source files be UTF-8-encoded.

If the plug-in development, RCP application development based on other encoding, such as gb18030, want to convert to UTF-8, first, do the above work; then through the search encoding conversion tool, such as based on
Iconv bulk Conversion Tool, convert the original encoding to UTF-8 encoding, note that only the conversion of Java source files, other types of files may already be more suitable for encoding; will be in the original engineering properties
Text file encoding, from the original encoding to the UTF-8.
