Description tprochazka 2006-05-31 16:28:17 UTC 
When I use
Options -> Editing -> Java Sources -> Default Encoding: UTF-8

And create new project a try compile it. Netbeans don't use UTF-8 for source but 
use system default encoding.

I must manually add  -encoding UTF-8 to Build -> Compiling in Project Properties.

What about add to project config dialog input field for project source encoding?
And when I create new project NB use value set in Options -> Editing -> Java 
Sources -> Default Encoding.
Comment 1 tprochazka 2007-01-11 14:25:47 UTC 
In actual dev version of Netbeans 6 is this options gone.

Maybe in new version will be better way how to set default encoding for all 
files. I hope, that UTF-8 will be default.

I think, that this bugs is blocked with:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=42638
and will be fixed with it.
Comment 3 tprochazka 2007-05-03 09:14:55 UTC 
I think, that this may be close. This is fixed in General project already.
Comment 4 Petr Dvorak 2008-04-23 13:17:37 UTC 
Default encoding is UTF-8 in NB 6.1.

I am closing this enhancement proposal for now. If there is any reason to reopen it, feel free to do so.
