Unable to create a file with foreign language characters

Question

I get the following error, when trying to save a properties file (containing name/value pairs) with foreign language characters. How do I set the encoding?

Answer 1

I presume its eclipse:

1. Go to Windows Menu –> Preferences –> General (expand it) –> Workspace (click on it)
2. Look for a box “Text File Encoding”. Default will be “Cp1252″.
3. Change radio to select other and select “UTF-8″ from combo box.
