ISO-8859-1 is the standard encoding for properties files since the beginning of Java; other characters must be escaped. There is an open RFE to detect other encodings, but it cannot be reliable since the file itself does not specify its encoding. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 75906 *** I guess the idea here was not to change the default encoding for property files - as you mention, by the default encoding is already specified. The idea here is to be able to change the encoding, if for whatever reason, I needed a property file saved in an encoding that's not the default. |
