Description MiguelM 2002-09-12 07:33:56 UTC
I'm working on a multi-platform/multi-Locale project. (Client/server hence multi-platform, 
customers in many countries). The IDE lets me specify the encoding only for certain file types! 
On a project like this (of which I'm sure there are many), there's no telling what kinds of files 
will depart from the default encoding. Right now I want to open text files (with Japanese test 
data) and sql files (for modifying UTF-8 databases) from MS Windows, for which the default 
encoding doesn't work. Since we can already specify the encoding for java files and other file 
types, it shouldn't be hard to give us that feature for all files. 

  It would also be useful to specify specific encodings as the default encoding for certain file 
types. For example, our .sql files will all use the same encoding, so I'd like to specify this at the 
file-type lever instead of the file level. (But I'd be very happy to do so just at the file level!)

Consistent use of the I18N keyword.
