Description zuhans 2006-02-13 20:46:12 UTC 
hello,

at first: i like what has been done so far to have subversion-support in
netbeans. i work with it now for several weeks and i am content.

but: german umlaute don' work: 
here is an example (commit with some infos into the log):

svn: ?\195?\156bertragen fehlgeschlagen (Details folgen):
svn: Auf sichere Daten 'f' folgte ein nicht-ASCII Byte 252, das nicht von/nach
UTF-8 konvertiert werden konnte

as you see:
1. the messages of the program aren't correct (here german umlaut ü/ue).
2. if i use german umlaute in the log-text, the program doesn't succeed.

but: i want to use german umlaute...

greetings
hans horwath

On Mac OS X 10.4.5, NB 5.0, Java 1.5.0_05, Subversion 1.2.3 I'm also experiencing this bug.

Especially the ö (HTML-coding: ö) is causing some trouble.
I have problems with ö in Java comments as well as everywhere in Ruby (comments, strings or regular expressions).

But nevertheless I really like NetBeans 6.0 so far. Great work!

Sorry, forgot to mentions this: system is Ubuntu 7.10 running on an Intel Core 2 Duo notebook (Dell Inspiron 7400).

When using Word "Käyttäjä" as Actor SVN failed on MacOS

---------------
Also when using Text like "Käsittelee" in diagrams in Mac OS X , it can be submitted to SVN.
When checking out in Windows XP  this word was "K(something)sittelee" - it means that file format is corrupted.
It does not handle Unicode right between Mac OS / Windows?

This is not a Bug, this is a featuere in NetBeans 6.1!
It is possible to set any encoding for the whole project or for a single file but the standard-setting is utf8.
To change the settings for project-level:
see NetBeans help > Configuring the IDE > About Project Encodings:
1) Right-click the project node in the Projects window and choose Properties.
2) In the left column under Categories, select Sources.
3) In the Encoding drop-down list, select the character encoding that you want to be applied to the project. Click OK. 
The new encoding is applied to the project you are working in.
---
For File
If you dont know what encoding is right for you see:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html
For German setting is ISO-8859-1, "Latin Alphabet No. 1" the right setting.
Further see: NetBeans help > Basic File Features > About File Encodings
