Description Tom Tromey CLA 2006-04-11 21:17:20 EDT
I checked out the JDT core plugin from eclipse.org CVS.

On my machine I cannot open CharOperation.java in Eclipse;
it says it can't be decoded using UTF-8.
I changed this file's properties to say that is ISO-8859-1
encoded, and then I was able to open it.

FWIW I had this problem once before... it would be nice to fix
the problem permanently, perhaps by forcing all source files to
be UTF-8.

Philippe,

I take the freedom to release for RC1. We always wanted to be sure that all sources can be read in UTF-8. For now I replace 'รก' with 'a'. I could put \u00E1 but I think this is a bit more difficult to read.
