Rails - Oct 2005 - Rails + Eclipse + Utf-8

I''m developing an international website that uses AJAX. In order to
make the
international characters appear correctly, I have set my default char set to
UTF-8.

 

The problem seems to be that Eclipse even though has the setting to use
UTF-8 for encoding, doesn''t save it in the correct format. If I open up
the
.rhtml file under Notepad++ it encodes the file correctly and accents appear
correctly.

 

Any tips are welcome!

 

Alessandro

 

P.S. I''m editing the .rhtml files with the WTP JSP editor.

A couple of days passed, so I don''t know if your problem is solved,  
but here''s my observation. I''m running on Mac OS X, but maybe
the
Ruby stuff is similar on Windows (and you''re running Windows,  
right?). It seems that Ruby (and so Rails) is using a variant of  
UTF-8 called "No BOM" (no Byte Order Mark), which differs slightly  
from standard UTF-8. If you''re curious, read this: <http:// 
www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM>.
So check if your editor is supporting the "UTF-8 no-BOM" format. On  
Mac OS X both UTF-8 forms are accepted in the BBEdit 8.x and TextMate  
1.1.
