Nope, as upon save using the wrong encoding the character(s) would be destroyed. Either use a different encoding or valid characters.

Dani, I don't think you understand: there is no "upon save" in my scenario.

Using a different character encoding on the web pages is not an option.

It's not that I'm trying to add invalid characters.

I'm not dissing Eclipse at all here, rather making a recommendation: Eclipse should allow files to be saved ragardless of characters. The function, in its current state, only goes part way in to the realm of "character validation". If the developers want to implement validation in Eclipse, it should be expanded to include, for example, highlighting the lines where the bad characters exists, and underlining the offending characters, rather than just refusing to save.


I'm not sure if it will solve your problem but you could try turning off the validator under window > preferences > validation.
