Hi,

saw Mohammad's mail regarding UTF-8 issues on the ML hence this
follow up.

It could be that Eclipse tries to determine the character encoding
of a file by using the windoze way of determine encodings.

Windoze is prepending the following garbage to each file if you are
saving it as UTF-8:

 (this is hex: EF BB BF)

So for example if you are declaring a XML file to be UTF-8 encoded
by using encoding="utf-8", but you are not saving the file as beeing
UTF-8 encoded, M$ IE for example will complain that it's not possible
to read the particular XML file.

Thus it's required to declare and save a file as UTF-8 encoded.

Cheers
