Convert source code from ISO-LATIN-1 to UTF-8
---------------------------------------------
Key: GEOT-1516
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1516
Project: GeoTools
Issue Type: Wish
Components: admin
Affects Versions: 2.5-M0
Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 2.5-M1
Current GeoTools code base uses the ISO-LATIN-1 encoding. I suggest to switch
to UTF-8. Rational:
* UTF-8 is now the default in many modern OS except Windows.
* We have contributors from a wider range of countries, and they may wish to
use their alphabet when writting their name in the javadoc [EMAIL PROTECTED]
tag.
* In current state, when a developper edit a ISO-LATIN-1 file with an editor
set to UTF-8 encoding, the non-ASCII characters get corrupted. The converse
(opening a UTF-8 file with an editor set to ISO-LATIN-1 encoding) do not
dammage the file. So this switch would prevent the dammages that occured in
some occasions in the past.
This changes should have no impact on Java code. The only impact is expected to
be restricted to the copyright header when "_Institut de Recherche pour le
Développement_" or "_Pêches et Océans Canada_" is cited, and to a few javadoc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tags for contributors like "_Cédric Briançon_". It may also
have an impact on a few remainding French comments not yet translated to
English.
