I seem to be unable to set or change the character encoding that JSEclipse use when opening JavaScript files.

I'd much prefer the default encoding to be UTF-8, but it appears to be fixed at ISO-8859-1, Cp1252 or something similar.

Microsoft Windows 2000
Sun Java 1.5.0_09

Eclipse Version: 3.2.1
Build id: M20060921-0945

JSEclipse Version: 1.5.2.2

Similar problem on a Linux box (Mandriva Cooker).

hello, 

JSEclipse does not handle character encodings, instead it uses the encodings set up by Eclipse. 

To change that you must go in preferences General/Workspace.

Of course. I must have been confused because Eclipse's default text file encoding depends on the OS, i.e. cp1252 on Microsoft Windows operating systems. I installed first on a Linux box, though; something must have been overriding the default. Since cp1252 is pretty lame for cross-platform work, I have changed the Eclipse default encoding to UTF-8, and change on a per-file basis whenever needed.

Kind regards and keep up the good work!
