How to support UTF-8 encoding in Eclipse

Question

How to add UTF-8 support in eclipse? I want to add, for example, Russian, but eclipse will not support it. What should I do? Please guide me.

Answer 1

try it

• 1) Window > Preferences > General > Content Types , set UTF-8 as the default encoding for all content types.

• 2) Window > Preferences > General > Workspace , set Text file encoding to Other : UTF-8

Answer 2

Open Eclipse and follow these steps:

1. Window → Settings → Expand General and click Workspace, the encoding of the text file (bottom) has the ability to select the encoding.
2. Select the "Other" radio button → select UTF-8 from the drop-down list
3. Click Apply and click OK OR just click OK

Answer 3

You can set the default encoding when running eclipse.exe.

• Open eclipse.ini in the eclipse home directory or STS.ini in case of STS (Spring Tool Suite)
• enter the line below at the end of the file

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Answer 4

Just right-click Project - Properties and select Resource from the menu on the left.

Now you can change the encoding of the text file to whatever you want.

Answer 5

I tried all the settings mentioned in this post to successfully build my project, but I did not succeed. Finally, I was able to successfully build my project with the command mvn -DargLine=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 clean insall .

Answer 6

You can set the default Java character encoding for the entire operating system by setting the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS with the value -Dfile.encoding="UTF-8" . The next time you start Eclipse, it should stick with UTF-8 as the default character set.
