[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-56?page=comments#action_76859 ] Kenney Westerhof commented on MECLIPSE-56: ------------------------------------------
There's no need to specify an encoding in the <?xml processing instruction, since UTF-8 is the default encoding. Also java strings are printed as utf-8 by default, so there's probably only an issue in reading them from the pom. > Generated .project-file misses encoding declaration > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MECLIPSE-56 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-56 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Stefan Hübner > Attachments: MECLIPSE-56-maven-eclipse-plugin.patch1, > MECLIPSE-56-maven-eclipse-plugin.patch2, > MECLIPSE-56-resourcesForAdditionalTestcaseszip > > > Hi, > I'm experiencing problems creating eclipse project files, if the project's > description in pom.xml contains special characters like german umlauts (like > "öüä"). Refreshing the eclipse workspace after running eclipse:eclipse > results in the following message from eclipse: > "Errors occurred while refreshing resources with the local file system. > Failed to read the project description file (.project) for > comworld-eventlisteners. The file has been changed on disk, and it now > contains invalid information. The project will not function properly until > the description file is restored to a valid state." > This is caused by the content of the .project's generated comment-tag > containing the exact same description as in pom.xml. But the .project-file is > generated without stating an encoding parser should use to read it. So, if I > prepend the line > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?> > eclipse is able to read the file just fine. > Regards, > Stefan -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
