There is some malformed unicode string in project.properties (or private.properties) file. Did you enter some non-english character in project customizer of did you modify some of those prop. files by hand? Loading the property file is the only last point where the problem is revealed.
or could there be some non basic ascii characters in project name or path to it or a file name ? (and what locale/regional setting are you running under ?) ken.frank@sun.com
bcallebaut replied to my questions that not using non basic ascii in project name or path and using windows in fr_BE locale. can you reply in this issue to questions asked by mkubec ? you mentioned in mail about it happens when you use maven projects and in issue about mercurial. can you create some new project in ide not using mercurial or maven, but with project location in same basic path as other projects are ? and see if it happens ? and can you give steps of what is happening, ie create new project, put into mercurial, etc ? ken.frank@sun.com
