Hello I'm using Apache Tomcat 5.5.23 with JDK1.5 on WinNT5.1 SP2 using text editors: jEdit, Eclipse/3.2.1, TextPad/4
After editing ROOT/index.jsp, I get non ASCII characters prepended to the file's contents, like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> And it shows up on tomcat's homepage. Some stupid PC-file type saving convention, although i'm surprised jEdit does it. Both editors have their code pages set to UTF-8, and TextPad is set to save files as UNIX files not DOS files. Eclipse is no help, since it won't let me edit index.jsp, without making it first part of an Eclipse project filetree. Any suggestions on how to remove these unseemly characters?
