Description strzinek 2005-03-01 22:06:30 UTC

opposed to pre-4.0 releases, the default java
encoding is now a global setting. There is no way
to set different encodings for projects, except
setting encodings on individual files, which is
not very practical

Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2005-03-10 16:36:00 UTC

Generally missing a comprehensive system for managing file encodings, both for
the editor and for build processes. For current versions of NB, it is best to
use \uXXXX escapes, or to stick to the platform default encoding.

Comment 2 strzinek 2005-07-21 16:02:51 UTC

Workaround for this:
specify encoding of a project by adding "-encoding XXX" to Additional compile
options in Project settings

I'd like to see you use \u escapes in code - it's simply unreadable.

This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither
added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. 
If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. 

Thanks in advance.
