To get UTF-8 encoding for your entire workspace, go to Window -> Preferences. In the pop-up start typing encoding. Now you should have Content Types, Workspace, CSS Files, HTML Files, XML Files as result. In content Types you can type UTF-8 in the Default encoding text box, for the other elements you can just select the encoding in their respective listboxes.

Then check the encoding for your project in Project -> Properties -> Resource.
