I will just fix UTF-8 as the encoding since I don't expect a need for other
encodings in NBM projects.

Was not in time for M8.

if this will be seen in m9 vs in latest nb builds, this can be ignored:

in project properties of module project,  I don't see place where encoding is noted
or can be changed, like is seen in j2se project - shouldn't that be there since that
seems part of the solving of 42638 that users might want to change encoding ?

I guess you missed my comment above - the encoding is fixed as UTF-8 for all
module projects.

Using UTF-8 as the default encoding of a project is much better of course than
what has been before. But it's not perfect, I think, since NB is such a great
IDE. Why it should be worse than other IDEs? Why it can't deal with the
encoding, the basic problem?

For the j2se project, web project and others you can simply change the encoding
in the project's customizer. For the apisupport project, project type for
creating Neteans modules, it's good decision to keep the NetBeans sources in
common encoding (UTF-8).

It is good ONLY for netbeans modules.
But what about standalone applications which are using netbeans platform?

see 123798 which relates to this;
thus I think this one can be left closed
and can refer to that other issue.

could you add your comments and your name to cc
list of that other issue ?

IMO referring to other issue is more applicable
since this issue was for nb6, and nb6 has been released.

thus in that context will reclose this one.
