Netweaver Dev Studio: Character Encoding Problem

[Former Member]

Hi all!

I've migrated a EP5 Project to EP6 and it worked fine. Now I'm working on another workstation and while trying to open a java-file of migrated project I got

"Error Encoding Problem, this file is unreading using the UTF-8 character encoding".

The java-file contains german characters like "ä".

I'm using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 2.0.5

Build id: 200404200353

Does anyone know, how to set Character Encoding in NetWeaver Developer Studio?

Thank You

I've found the solution:

Changing the encoding used to show the source

To change the encoding used by the Java editor to display source files:

With the Java editor open, select Edit > Encoding from the menu bar

Select an encoding from the menu or select Others and, in the dialog that appears, type in the encoding's name.

Note: this setting affects only the way the source is presented.

To change the encoding that the Java editor uses when saving files, specify a text file encoding preference on Window > Preferences > Workbench > Editors.
